            So the only reason why you started this thread was to bait Asher ?

              This should prove amusing, in a nerdy sort of way.

                Open Source is communism!

                Nah, I think it's very important.

                  No, no, no.

                      Do you have the faintest clue what my opinion on software development *IS*?

                      I've repeatedly stated in many threads that open source is viable for commodity products, and would certainly therefore be considered "important", but this does in no way translate into being the "best" or anything like you want to imply here.

                        BTW, wanna explain to me what the Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers are doing with a survey on software.

                        I'd also love for them to ask if proprietary software is important.

                        Jeez Urban, I give you too much credit sometimes.
