I think if one can make a better product than others, one should still be modest and not say that someone else is bad. But innovation, the strive for perfection, the strive for development is what drives many industry, including the computing industry. In many projects that I am leading, I find that this is the point that is missing from the minds of some people. I always encourage openess, or try to do so. You'll never know what you'll learn from another person. This reminds me of a proverb that says "If there are three men walking, at least one of them can be my teacher." My math teacher taught me that proverb when I was in grade 10. Again, this is just my personal opinion and I welcome disagreements.

Right now, there is work being done on a free QT replacement. If everyone was fine with QT this wouldn't be the case. This is also why more people seem to be trying to work with gtk etc. Check out the Harmony project.
Seems to me that one of the advantages of Linux is also one of its biggest disadvantages. If the PERFECT software was written there would be at least a dozen clones of it written by those who thought that they could do better or include better features. Jim
