I wrote a few lines about this war-thing awhile back:

In a way this situation is good and bad.

Good as it brings discussion in forums that might be much more quiet otherwise. There are people digging issues and facts of the rival company (some call it mudslinging, but atleast I have had lots of fun following what has been found about AI and Genesi. Better than The Bold and the beautiful

Bad, as it has brought bad blood and hatred amongts some members of the community. Some people do take this hobby a bit too seriously imho.

I think it's good all around... PC got where it is today by it's diversity... Apple stayed where it is because of it's closed-ness. Which model would you rather follow?

For the most part I agree with Hooligan.  The mudslinging can produce interesting reading, challenges to overcome, and general intrest in both sides.  Conversly, this "war" can take people who would otherwise be friencly and turn them into mortal opponants.

Personally, I'm happy to see that there are many people who can still be this passionate about our platform.
