The problem with Miguel de Icaza specifically and "Computer Science"
(and I use the term loosely) in general is that there is damn
little that has been objectively studied measured and quantified, and
the lessons generalized and reduced.

The real question is; is Bonobo or Plan 9, or whatever several
orders of magnitude measureably "better" and cheaper than it's competitor.
If so, then it has merit. If not, well you screwed up somewhere
along the line.
