So you want to be the angry guy in the corner holding a grudge, that's cool. The Microsoft of yore was really yucky, and I'm happy I'll probably never have to consider whether SQLServer is the right DB for a job and that "a real webbrowser" has caught on as an accepted casual term for any browser that isn't IE.

But this isn't that, and the rest of us here kinda just want to get on with it and build cool stuff and this helps us do that.

I prefer pragmatist. I think we have the same goal really which is avoiding anything that is a commercial risk, money and time sink and that’s the status quo with this particular organisation even to this day.

Ok, great. This isn't a commercial risk (MIT license) nor a money sink (free). So time sink remains, and whether it is a such should be reasonably quick to work out (give it a spin, see what happens).

No, I don't think we have the same goal, and you certainly do not come off very pragmatically.
