Which is why Canonical is "bitching" about quality of F-Spot, PiTiVi etc.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Microsoft and
Avid were paying people to
sabotage the major distros. They surely see Linux multimedia production
tools as a significant threat by now.
Yes, all those developers are fragmenting efforts to work on their little fancy
never-to-mature tools at the cost of socialization simply because they are
paid by evil proprietary companies. They are all billionaires in disguise,
dontcherknow.
With more unified distribution from the major distros
that will significantly
increase the user base and the potential for funding of major development
efforts to close the remaining gaps.
It's truly amazing how aforementioned Avid software became popular without
ever being part of Windows -- the most major distro on Earth. There's
something fishy about that as well, right? :)
If it's not that then the only option left is
incompetence on the part of
the major distro's and the people they pay or choose not to pay to look
after this stuff.
But as it really doesn't take much effort on the
part of Avid and Microsoft
to get to those people and they can print cash to facilitate their agenda
There kinda exist laws against arbitrary printing of cash by anyone who isn't
government. DoJ comes down like a ton of rectangular building things on
anyone who attempts to do a better job than government at it. Fancy you not
knowing that :)
