I honestly don't understand the point he's trying to make here. He at the same time claims that open source people are unqualified adolescent idiots and that they somehow managed to work through this mess all these years (which he claims is exceedingly difficult to do). Which is it?

We'd all like the world to be perfect. Buy one programming book of the only programming language in existence, write your perfect program (which nobody tried to create before), compile it with a perfect (and only) compiler and receive a unique and perfect binary copy to run on the only architecture available...
