Re: [forge-dev] What to do about our little Windows joke...?

Hi everyone, I saw that thread and wanted to add it to tomorrow's forge meeting agenda I am fine discussing it here too. After working mostly under windows I also tend to find it offending too see "Windows? Really?" joke every time I start forge. Maybe I take it too personal but the fact that I'm using windows should not imply that I'm a worse person/user/developer. Maybe I am misinterpreting it but this is how it feels to me. Besides, windows is the most popular OS (I think it has about 90% of the OS market share) so it means that most of the users will see that. Even if not everybody will take that personal it still can make a lot of people unhappy by using forge. And we want happy users, don't we? I also see it every time I run "forge source-plugin" command. I swear to god it's one of the reasons I am considering buying a mac asap :) That said, after I deleted "Windows? Really?" joke from ~/.forge/config it suddenly started to FEEL better working with forge. Unreasonable emotions? Yes, absolutely. But that's how human beings work. I don't mind having geeky/nerdy jokes like "still 32-bit" or "sun still makes java" but only if there is an option/flag to turn them off. I guess jvm vendor or 32/64-bit OS versions are not one of those holywar topics, like windows vs mac, java vs c#, etc etc etc. Best regards, Jevgeni P.S. Wow, looks like I'm the only antagonist in here so far :S On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 8:58 PM, Lincoln Baxter, III <lincolnbaxter(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:
