That said, much of the FOSS currently available is either itself crap...

I understood the article was about criticizing persons and their reasons for doing something. What you say is an opinion on results, an opinion that could be correct. But you can't make a convincing criticism of behaviour based on results, except with better results.

I think the Linux kernel is crap, for what it's worth. That's not to say there isn't very smart people solving very complicated problems with it. But it is a monolith with a egomaniac in charge. This view is not solely my own.

beautiful to find people yelling "the software is garbage" in the discussion of this particular post

I have never had problems with Linux, unlike Windows and OS X. 99% of weird workarounds in large FOSS projects are for OS X and Windows.
