This is the reason why Linux has such big problems to succeed. The own community is hating the open source projects instead of supporting them. Is it really necessary to say which project is better? Would it be that hard for you to find both projects cool? There are pros and cons on both side! And both projects are definitely a step into the right direction. So please stop fighting companies that try to make open source projects! (The Gnome desktop works on Pine thanks to @purism ;))
