First of all I think its important to realize that Stallman has just defined clearly the difference between the Free Software Movement and the Open Source Movement. If you don't realize that there is a difference you miss the point of this article. For the OSM it may indeed be important to "keep the end user in mind" etc... But for the FSM if the code isn't free they will not accept it regardless of how polished it looks. I'm more inclined to line myself up with the OSM but I'm glad the FSM is there. And while I do fine RMS to be a pita often, I thank God he exists.
