You have to remember that GNU started as, and remained, a political project, not a
technical project. The point of GNU was to rewrite patent-encumbered Unix as free
software: the point was not to innovate or produce quality code. You should view
GNU as a proof-of-concept project, which it really started as; unfortunately, a lot
of today's applications are still relying on a proof-of-concept implementation.
Grats on making the switch, and welcome to the world of real, technically-focused
implementations. ;)
