is this why linux sucks so bad? a bunch of entry level programmers add their terrible stuff to a program and then all of the sudden you get a gigantic piece of shit that doesnt work?

Richard as always, is completely right . Programming is not a Science nor an engineering discipline as many would like to pretend nowadays. Somehow during the early 90s, the profession entered an identity crisis and no one wanted to be called a computer programmer, because it no longer sounded sophisticated, employers went along with fancy names for the position it the believe that they where going to get some genius that will suddenly fix all the mess of their legacy applications.
