OK, I'll bite: He has singlehandedly built a lot of incredibly useful software. He's awesome.

Why are we linking to his wikipedia article? Am I missing some timely piece of info?

Nothing special. To me, it feels awesome to read about what he has done and it's inspirational. I just wanted to share it.

This is exactly the same issue I had with the article about Foxconn, specifically the OP extracting a single sentence from a multi-page article and pasting it here without a shred of commentary. I can't stand copy-paste without any additional information or opinion being shared. It defeats the purpose of a forum.

p.s. I was downmodded at least -9 when I posted a similar reply to yours.
