Is that the best you can come up with? I'll address that attitude in a minute, but first "performance" is a part of "user-centric" design. Not just ease-of-use, or looking pretty. It's been that way since Apple first made the GUI mainstream. Now as for the attitude. Need I point out that it's F/OSS that's coming to people hat in hand. Not the other way around. The real world already had their solutions before F/OSS even showed up. So F/OSS taking their ball and going home isn't going to make a lick of difference to the rest of the world.
