He's got points there - Gnome's been problematic for a while.  But unlike

other mainstream OSes, I have a lot of options as to my window/desktop

manager, and it doesn't seem useful to build up that much rage about it.
It seems like he would get along with Theo DeRaadt, who is also capable of

whipping himself into a frenzy.  (Theo's latest rant over the Win8/UEFI

secure boot is a great example.  He slammed RedHat and Canonical for

trying to figure out a working compromise, and even compared RH to MS.

Um, no.)
I think the klang project is a dead end, and it's too bad that all

that really comes out if it is more bitching about linux audio, which

is finally at a pretty good level for both the casual and power users

now.
