I don't know what you believed in, but it certainly was not the GNU
philosophy. The GNU philosophy is not concerned about quality of
software. It is concerned about its availability and freedom.

Well, what you theatrically toss has not been Stallman's invention
at all. I recommend you search for another scapegoat. He never
promised you a Rosegarden. Is my metaphor of tossing it in the trashcan somehow
unacceptable?
It's just silly, as you apparently don't have a clue about what you
presume to be tossing. More likely the Open Source mantra about OSS
being a superior development model.
And what earthly thing does RMS have to do with
Rosegarden?
It was just a pun.
