On Linux, we don't need to settle.

And yet, there's systemd. There's dbus. There's Gnome. All things that
could have been done much better and more simply.

If *we* means Rick and me and the rest of the people on this mailing
list, then "we don't need to settle" is a true statement. But if "we"
means Linux users in general, there seems to be a compulsive need to
settle, and to defend such a decision with a combination of logical
fallacies, bluster, aggression and proud proclamations of "I am not a
programmer."
