Actually you enjoy each other

ABMer and NBMer since your hatreds of each other fuel a contest of sorts. Sometimes the people in the middle, those who don't care about the platform or the religion of such, suffer and/or benefit the consequences of radical left to right thinkers propelling code and market into new, different, and sometimes innovative areas, since most look at a "working" ecosystem and don't look to push its boundaries in ways that can break or greatly alter the system. Open source is great, it more than fulfills its needs and users desires, as well as closed source gives commercial and noncommercial entities a feel or security in the product(s) they provide, often based on differing models of creating revenue when revenue is involved. With anything, the passage of time has alterations on the market, the ecosystem, and to open sources credit, it has evolved better than most closed sourced entities, but, it has the same fringe of radicals and extremists, and shows a lot of the same mentality in users and promoters, drawing similarity with its flip side.

Even the ABMers benefit from the closed source community, even if they don't enjoy it's 'freedom', free being whatever closed source feels liberated from.

But when you find a way to eliminate the far side, will it be murder or heaven?
