GNU wants to recreate a 1988 Unix. That's not necessarily a bad thing – I'm an old Unix beardy type myself as well – but it's not really how you stay at the forefront of computing, yeah. Also didn't help Stallman alienated the GNOME and GTK people so they're not longer GNU projects (and they were independent for a long time before that anyway).

There are still some important GNU projects though, GCC, GNU libc, and Grub being the most notable.

I don't know the details but, I mean, GNOME/GTK people themselves have been very good at alienating folks of all sorts...

Except he's pissed off most of those people too.
