Thanks for the interesting comment!

I do make a distinction between OS developer and application developer. I feel very strongly that clarifying the differences between the OS and the application is critical to our success. And I think we suffer greatly from a lack of variety, choice, and energy in the application space.

As you suggest, I don't think this is a new discovery. However, it has proven extremely difficult to make traction on this. We'll get there but we can use your help.

Which brings me to the real reason I'm following up. While I can't say that any designer or developer I know expects to see constructive criticism in forums like this, we very much hope to see it in our bug trackers, and on IRC. With a few caveats. There are far more voices than there are ears. And there even fewer busy hands. And you will be your own best advocate by getting involved and taking stake in the future of open source.

All it takes is enough people that care. Care enough to step up and do more kicking ass than talking smack. We would love to have you.
