"Speaking for myself as a technical person, I must say
that open source leaves a lot to be desired. That statement
probably doesn't sit very well with some of you, but believe me, I
like it even less. I have several dedicated Linux computers, have
studied open source for years, and advocate it when called upon to
do so.
After going to Source Forge and seeking out an open source GNU
CAD project, I found that one existed, but that it had remained
dormant for over a year, with no serious effort underway. I cannot
function professionally without a CAD graphics program. Neither can
any of the world's architects and engineers. So while the computer
geek in me revels in open source, it is astounding that it
continues to be useless for so many technical people."
