That was back in the days when we didn't have all the other stuff. Now we have all the other stuff. And that's just what we call it: "the other stuff". We have more "other stuff" than anybody else: we have Java, and Linux, and C, and SQL and PHP and Python and Apache and you name it. Heck, out Java Toolbox is on SOURCEFORGE, fer goshsakes. How many Microsoft products are on SourceForge? So we have the automatic transmission, the anti-lock brakes, the six-way air bags, even the DVD player for the kids. Your gramma can drive this baby, and so can your teen out of college. But, we've ALSO got a 460 cubic inch Cobra Jet hemi pushing 360 HP under the hood, and all it takes to turn it on is to fire up the RPG compiler. You want proprietary? Try Microsoft: "If we didn't invent it and have complete control over it, it won't run here."
