They could be making the very best tools in the world, for all I know they are. But the toolmaker in question has a bit of a history and I haven't forgotten that just yet: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Linux-and-Open-Source/BayStar-Confi... (sorry for the ads on that page), they just couldn't help not playing nice.

Then there was netscape, the media player issue, a bunch of FUD to various governments to get them to extend their lock-in rather than to go with open source and a series of briberies http://slashdot.org/articles/06/12/27/1423234.shtml and so on.

The tools and their quality don't enter in to it, it's the corporate conduct that I have a problem with.

I certainly can't argue with that point and would agree to an extent. Though when working/programming I am less idealistic on this topic I suppose.

Ah yes, there's that one too. I'm sure if you'd spend a day or so you could come up with a fair sized list.
