Bottom line is I don't think there's a good reason that software should be a false dilemma. There're ways to make it suit *many* kinds of minds. Look at what Firefox does with Addons, for example.
The preceding paragraph pretty much makes my point. About 1/3 of the people I interact with on Linux group lists have said that Firefox is now so bloated as to be unuseable. As years went by and they crammed more and more features, whether via Addons, plugins or hard coding, the less stable Firefox has become. On my box, by the time I open my 5th page and operate the program for a half hour, it responds slower than a DOS program on a 1200 baud modem.
