Linux isn't "thriving," it's *surviving*. Since it a pretty shitty
combination of a number of elements developed by a number of people,
nobody owns the whole thing. As a result, if KDE dies, Linux sticks
around. If gstreamer's development ends, Linux remains. It's hard to
kill something which isn't owned by anyone. Linux development is indeed
thriving, but that doesn't mean that it has reached the same level of
quality as commercial products like OS/2 have even today.
