It's funny, I have a different view. Corporates often need LT maintenance and support for weird old systems. The majority of global programming community often chases shiny new trends in their personal tinkering.

However I think there's the retro-computing, and other hobby niches that align with your hacker view. And certainly there's a bunch of corp enthusiasm for standardizing shiny things.

I think you both are partially right. In fact, the friction I see are where the industry relies on the open-source community for maintenance but then pushes through certain changes they think they need, even if this alienates part of the community.
