Why does everyone complain so much about developers getting paid? Aren't most of the people here developers?

Are you sure we're complaining? I think most people here think this is a good thing...

I think it is more of a response to "linux is a hobbyist OS". If 75% of the people who get paid to work on it are doing so for money, that would refute certain toy-based arguments.

I think it is great that people are paid to work on Linux.
