The variety of Open Source projects is its strength.

Where do you see Open Source as a failure? All I can see is that it spreads more and more. Who knows where it will end yet. It may be the desktop, may be not.

For me, Open Source is not a failure, because it always allows me to do whatever I need to do with software. And if I would be the only one in the world who likes a colorfull desktop, I guess I would have to write KDE from scratch and on my own.

Don't let people tell you what you have to eat. Be free in your choices. And if you are in a minority, do your own thing. And if you don't succeed, then the rest of the world will know why they haven't gone your way :)
