     @ridge @XOrgFoundation Appreciated. I wanted to read more on why there's this much emphatic loathing, but couldn't even get started

     @roadriverrail I'm no developer or even remotely capable of speaking about the matter, but I think my first encounter with someone griping over WSI (and learning what it even is!) was this blog post. I kinda understand their pain.
