while #GNU and the #FSF certainly has given us many useful things the overall strategy has kind of failed. just look at savannah.gnu.org for example. it all just doesn't gain enough traction to really make a difference. nobody uses the GNU OS. is there even any piece of recent GNU software that is filling more than just a niche?

@steckerhalter Tbh gnuOS isn't in big dev because linux is here and good enough.

Is savannah that bad ?

@marsxyz @steckerhalter I still keep a mirror of one of my projects, there. The main problem back then was that it was so hard to create new projects without sending mails and waiting for a while. The web design is old school and services are bare bones but at least you can be confident that they will still be around in a few years.
