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.

Propriety software are better than open source one. Long time open source contributors will tell you that it's only free software in that the time you spend on it is worthless.

People working on propriety software have incentive to work on it. Namely, money. And they can afford to have many people working on it.

As always, capitalism beats communism.
