Am I the only one concerned about the resulting monoculture if the GIT proponents have their way?
... Karjaluoto doesn't recall many such changes that we didn't later look upon as the right choice....
The opinion of whether or not it was the right choice is severely clouded by the fact that in the Apple environment, there is No Choice. The user Has To go along with what Apple decides is The Future.

Apple has built the walls so high around its empire, that few dare leave. Therefore, they must rationalize that whatever Apple decides for the future is The Right Choice.

Facebook should make this "feature" opt-in, not "you're using this feature whether you want to or not".
I never said that is was bloated because it does not cater to my whims.
... not make Mozilla not care about their users not make Mozilla not care about their users...
Nor did I say that it not catering to my whims means that Mozilla does not care about its users.
...Firefox still feels less bloated than Chrome...
I was comparing to the time before the recent development fiascos (new UI, etc.). Firefox just seems to be getting larger and larger and larger.

It appears the Firefox developers are looking to please themselves, and not the users, because the Firefox marketshare is dropping in spite of all the additional bloat being added.

So he thinks that compatibility and interoperability are not features which he likes. OK, I'm OK with that.
However, that is his opinion, nothing more, nothing less.
There are reasons why interoperability and compatibility are desired. It is not the easiest path to provide those characteristics, on the contrary, it is easier to just say, ~screw compatibility, screw interoperability~, and you'll probably finish your task more quickly.
So then the question becomes, why do people invest extra effort in order to assure interoperability and compatibility?
...which we all recognize is a problem....
And now he presumes to speak for everyone....
Overall it sounds like he just got out of a bad meeting in which someone told him that his opinions are not worth the air used to utter them, and now he's trying to convince the world that he is right and the world is wrong.
