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.

People have this wacky idea that you have to have evil, proprietary, spying, patent-ridden programs, or you have to have GNU-brand free software.
False dichotomy, why would the FSF hold a monopoly over FOSS?  Equating FOSS with GNU shitware is disgusting.

Stallman's rhetoric works really well though, especially on young students, because people like the idea they're fighting for freedom and whatnot.
And because some people actually want control over the shit they bought.  Have you thought about that?
