>I don't care about the OSS vs Proprietary argument at all. I care about my productivity and job satisfaction.

That's kind of like saying, "I don't care about voting, I just want politicians to represent me."

Arguing on the internet isn't analogous to voting. Voting accomplishes things, arguing about OSS Vs Proprietary just wastes time.

I think it's saying that "software politics" and productivity are not one in the same.
