The content about the Free Web was interesting. I wasn't aware of all the things that Chrome was capable of, especially with NaCl, something I've only briefly heard about. The Free Web movement seems like it will become more and more important as people and software migrate to the browser.

Yet instead of focusing on education, the primary purpose of the article seemed to be attacking me. Somehow being a user of vim and git on a POSIX platform makes me a Free Software Fetishist. Somehow not using open source in every part of my development stack makes me an enemy of free software. This article calls me a fetishist and tells me to open my mind to new ideas, then tells me that there is One True Path. The Free Web coming into being does not devalue the software that came before it.

An important part of free software is community. The author would do better with a helping hand rather than a fist to the face.
