Is it just me or is Linux waking up?


Everywhere I go on the web, people are currently writing some very cool stuff for Linux, but almost nothing is complete. Like the NTFS capability, MPlayer, wine, even the GRUB bootloader is still not a 1.0 version. All these people appear to have started Linux projects and are coming close to finishing. Has Linux's popularity gone up real fast in the last few months or somethin'? Cause it looks like they sure are supporting it. Very cool.

unlike windows with its round the clock rigourous testing of programs and also the availability of programmers to take out the bugs the linux world has no such luxury
mostly programmars use their spare time to write programs containing a number of bugs
not only that they have to start from scratch
(like in ntfs) unless microsoft releases the full information about ntfs you have to do everything yourself
maybe if you start programming then we will have a early realease of version 1 of a program
