Isn't that for the market to decide? It's not like they're using public funds for R&D, if people want it they'll pay for it and if they don't they won't.

>Isn't that for the market to decide?

I couldn't care less about the market. I am personally not in the slightest convinced by this product and I specifically asked other people to please tell me why they would want it. I just really dislike bullshit products (not projects) that lead nowhere and brain drain the open source world.

Personally I’d probably be a lot more productive without the YouTubes sucking me in whenever I have time to do stuff other than my job.

I read pdfs on my laptop, code using gedit without any fancy plugins for code highlighting or whatever and drop to the terminal if I need to mess with stuff. Hell, the majority of the time surfing the interwebs is in reader view on my iPhone, like a good 90% of the time.

Plus, you are in no way entitled to the brain power of anyone who you are not directly compensating for their labor.
