You included. Did you consider giving up scheme and joining one of the 
alternatives instead?

I believe having alternatives does not subtract but add. Don't assume that 
the time some of those "my way" guys would have been spent on "your way" 
automatically if the given person didn't invest it in an alternative.

Instead, there are very high chances that that time would have been spent 
on some other project. In which case that time is totally lost from geda 
point of view.

Thus bashing people for not following your way does not do any good. This 
sort of behaviour contributes in getting poor more than forks or 
alternatives. I know relaizing that "their way for them is as true as your 
way for you" is hard, but you could maybe try.

Be proud again and support those who invest time in developing any part of 
geda -- even if it's not done in scheme.

Regards,

Igor2
