That’s part of the reason that I’m an OpenBSD user, because there is a much smaller development team that has more of a cohesive vision. However, that doesn’t get in the way of user freedom. I’m just of the opinion that another desktop environment or window manager (or text editor, etc) that doesn’t take off isn’t an issue at all and it often pressures the incumbent to innovate and adopt new features.

Competition and a common vision don’t need to be mutually exclusive.
