It may well be a mistake to try to please all the people all the
time. I think that was exactly what Tom Christiansen had in mind when
he wrote:

"Huh? Windows was designed to keep the idiots away from Unix so we
could hack in peace. Let's not break that." -- Tom Christiansen

Microsoft tries to market Windows as being "all things for all
people;" much of its badness comes from that.

"If Ada became the hot, in-language you would see a lot more bad
code in Ada." -- Thaddeus L. Olczyk <olczyk(at)interaccess(dot)com>,

If PostgreSQL became as popular as MS-Access, we'd find people doing
hideous things with it. (Or, to be more precise, doing _even more
hideous_ things ;-).)
