Err, not it's not. Unless you think that diversity is bad, and that we should all think and do the exact same thing...

This community is its own worst enemy.
Hardly, but you sure feel content to bash it with misinformation.

Nokia has only recently figured out what MOST people want, and it is not GHz monsters or Communicators or geeky N9XX, and MOST people couldn't care less about Qt or Linux or any other OS related stuff. MOST people simply want an easy to use farting phone.
Which you could totally have that on pretty much any OS, but their management wasn't competent enough to see it through. Hopefully someone else will pick up from where they left off and run with it and give me what I want.

Largely it won't affect "common" people because they don't mess with the system on that level. Of course, I take everything ericsson says with a grain of salt.

There is lots of arrogance, stubbordness and simple stupidity in many Linux authors.
Indeed, they want to do things their own way. How terrible.

Many are just so detached they have lost the touch with reality and they do not even really care about the big picture
Yes, they may completely not care. This isn't a problem (unless you have a hard time with people doing things differently from you.)
