Nice icons indeed, but amazing? How is this more amazing than Linux, apache, node.js, PostgreSQL, Ruby on Rails, python, .... And mane more. All this software is also free... Just take a look at the Debian/red hat/Ubuntu repository, it is practically a whole marketplace worth of free goods...

It does not necessarily have to be more amazing than all the free software you cited to be amazing by itself, but I get your point.
People seem to me more or less used to software given for free (& sometimes even open source) by now, especially on HN. On the other hand, quality graphic work is not yet something this community is used to see free and with such a permissive license.
Anyways, this is still a lot of hard work, given for free, and it is amazing.

This is not reddit, and this link is not constructive.

Yes HN is slowly becoming Reddit, and all we can do is flag posts. But they just keep coming!

I'm usually first in line to disagree with the way people bring in The Holy Guidelines (http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), but this one is good:
> If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It's a common semi-noob illusion.)

I didn't know account = person. Also, I could have been just a reader.
What's next, I can't make an observation about programming, because my account is not "senior" enough?
I've been here for years, and your logic is broken.

My logic is fine. All I did was quote a guideline. If you think HN is becoming like Reddit in a bad way, then back it up with more than a worthless one-liner.

It's even free for commercial use, too! Just... wow!
Thanks for sharing.
