Stallman seems a little over zealous

What's wrong with proprietary software? Also, I'm not fond of his philosophy when it comes to programming. Not minimalist enough. Everything is bloated.

You're misunderstanding the point. Historically speaking, all software respected the users' freedom. “Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. “Free software” is a matter of liberty, not price.

Paying money for a computer with software is legitimate when the software respects the user's freedom. A modern example of this would be the Linksys WRT54G, Linux is installed and the development costs of changing modifying Linux would be included in the cost of purchasing this machine. Paying money for software apart from hardware is legitimate as long as the software respects the user's freedom.
