Every once and a while ESR does do something pretty good.

I like Gpsd, for example (I don't know how responsible exactly he is for it, but it's something that he's worked on at least). It's a nice approach to the problem instead of the traditional method of simply programming individual gps device support into the gps-using applications. Then you get network support to boot.

ESR also goes out of his way to share small stuff likes small tools, that are handy but aren't going to earn kudos.

One I have is a bash script, for simulating RH's chkconfig for init script link management in an rc.d directory, complete with a man page. When I found it in email archive, it was about a month later so I wasn't able to ask him if he wouldn't mind re-writing it in python *wink*

If ESR reads this, then belated thanks for that contribution.
