Blaming Thorvalds is easy...
The whole Linux/open source scene has been rife with Fanbois from day 1. These are notoriously ...difficult.. to deal with.
It's one of the many reasons why I personally never bothered with Linux-flavoured stuff. It's not that the whole OS/ideology is without merits. It's simply that the loudmouths killed off any semblance of proper adaptation and acception in the 90's, and in some respects still do.
it's not just one person, it's a whole bloody religion you have to deal with sometimes. And no, the Few Good Men do not compensate for the hordes of cellardwellers** you had/have to contend with if you're even just looking for information on whether or not a partcular flavour is suitable/adaptable for something you're working on.
** granted... nowadays it's Fashionistas *and* the cellardwellers.
