"All too often, people wear their technical affiliations on their sleeve (or perhaps on their T–shirts)" — Tim O’Reilly [7].
Since the beginning of the hacker age, programmers of all types have been "unfortunately intolerant and bigoted on technical issues" [8]. So when it comes to devout Open Source programmers, there's a strong tendency to immediately reject all proprietary software and anything to do with non–Open Source programs. Because of the philosophical and sociological issues behind the Open Source movement, this resistance is particularly stubborn.
While this has the advantage of increasing Open Source software usage amongst programmers themselves, unfortunately it has the side effect of preventing the Open Source community from learning what proprietary software has to teach. Concepts invented in the world of proprietary software are automatically rejected on the assumption that there’s nothing that could possibly be learned from those who are competing with their movement.
Fighting for one’s political stand is an honourable action, but refusing to acknowledge that there might be weaknesses in one’s position — in order to identify them so that they can be remedied — is a large enough problem with the Open Source movement that it deserves to be on this list of the top five problems.
