I think that's only true if you never update your FOSS software, which the FOSS community in general seems to think is akin to skinning puppies. Otherwise it seems to me that FOSS developers are just as prone to changing interfaces for the sake of change as everyone else.

It's true for many projects, and I usually stop using them after it happens for the first time. Eventually, some software remains, against odds, stable. If not in the defaults, then after I apply my text-based, human-readable, source-matchable configuration files.

Also, I recently found Chicago 95 and am very pleased with the results of that five-minute shellscript :D
