Conversely, it is difficult to spread our philosophy and reach out to
new communities with tools not originally designed for them; it seems
especially the case when they're unfortunately centred around
technical issues rather than social change. There is a lot of emacs
users in rails community; it would be nice if they could come here and
thereby help the free software movement...
I noted this last year with sadness on this blog post:
http://www.zedshaw.com/rants/rails_is_a_ghetto.html
«... Any experienced developer knows that autoconf configure files are
a PAIN IN THE ASS to recreate. They almost always require special
reconfigure calls, special m4 macros, or just time. You usually get
them right, generate them once, and then leave them in your repository
for all to use. To make it worse, Kevin actually wrote a supposed
alternative to autoconf, and yet he doesn't know the most basic thing
about autoconf...».
