Yep. Look at the open source communities, all the forks and 
fights. There used to be Tango vs Phobos. On the other hand, it's 
good that people can just do their own thing, if they're not 
happy with an existing project (for what ever reason). With 
companies, you have to stick with whatever decision they make, 
you ain't got no choice there. I remember that Apple removed my 
development tools after an upgrade and I had to download them 
again through the AppStore (had to register etc.). That was it 
for me. Good night! I'm on ArchLinux now. Never looked back.
