This just tells me that the person "pushing for a better operating system" didn't have the technical chops to compile, link and cleanly package software for AIX she or he needed, so it's a matter of throwing money at the problem and buying an inferior product (GNU/Linux) because of incompetence. Happens very often and predominantly in IT. SEE ALSO "A Brief History of Sadness" chapter http://dtrace.org/blogs/wesolows/2014/04/10/libsunw_ssl-or-h... |

Technical chops and "the OS has such a poor set of build tools we need a specialist" are two very different things. If you follow this line of reasoning too far, it quickly descends into absurdity: "Buying an operating system just tells me the person didn't have the technical chops to write their own" is something that I'm fairly certain neither of would use as an argument.
If a product is "superior" but is so difficult to use that people abandon it, was it ever superior to begin with?
