I think the competition is good in some respects. Imagine if there was only one option... I think that option would be much worse than the 3 available now.
The downside is when I imagine what if all 3 camps efforts all went into one single ng os. So many things have been done 3 times. Thats sad.
There is too much bs between morph and aos people. Being an aros user, I've noticed that camp has tended to be alot more positive about the other two.
I've also seen that if you have a valid criticism about morphos it is usually answered civilly. To me, the AOS 4 community just attacks anyone with valid questions, or especially criticisms.
I think asking how someone can close source a firefox port and then plan to charge people money for it is a valid question.
I also think the criticism about charging so much for ancient spec aos hardware, or x1000 not even having drivers is worthy of discussion and not attacks.
Sometimes, the morphos users and developers simply point out the bull**** in the other camp. I can't blame them for that. When benchmarks reveal that a 50$ used mac has very similar speed/benchmarks to a 3000$ x1000 people attack them for pointing that out. Personally, I think people deserve to know the truth of what they are really buying, and I'm glad someone revealed that.
I don't know how many morphos users there are. I don't care. I use AROS.
Though, if Morph finally goes to g5, I will buy a mac, customize the case to replace apple logos with butterflys or boingballs, and register that day.
I think the mac thing is great. I've always LOVED mac hardware but being a long time linux guy I find osx to be a total joke.
