hey Ryan,

ah, well a reasoned statement deserves a reasoned response...

Linus is an important authority in the Linux world. Its possible
that his decision is not well informed- but from my perspective, its
obvious he does know a lot about Linux and uses it regularly. Out
here in the 'real world' lots of parties want to influence my choices
for a variety of reasons, and I know that Linus is not likely to have
some kind of ulterior commercial (or other) interest. And that goes a
long way.

Remember, there are lots of other parameters for adoption aside from
personal usability preference. But as it goes in the Linux world, the
choice is yours! best, jmz
