It&#x27;s really interesting to see GNU writing their own version of everything so that it adheres to its own principles. It reminds me of China. Both reinvent things based on questionable motivations, both seem to really not &quot;get&quot; every-day people (e.g. understand their needs and wants), and both end up with products that just feel lower-quality and half-put-together than the products they&#x27;re cloning on principle.
