I find it interesting and old-school that people still assume the best way to create software is via the capital-new-project-investment system instead of the strengthen-existing systems. The latter approach takes advantage of the millions of people and the free, evolutionary market (i.e., selecting from github or the best out there, forking, etc. - like with say KHTML). The former approach is one or two people thinking they can outperform the filtering, evolutionary processes in all that (sometimes they can, but it strikes me as old school in the sense of maybe capitalism is old school in the sense of single large investments of capital).
