+1. RMS always talked big but the real work was done by other people.
GCC was Tiemann at Sun and then at Cygnus, groff was James Clark,
etc. I think RMS hacked on emacs but not much else.

Yep, it???s pretty superficial when it comes to

Further, the puppy love over RMS is entirely unjustified. He was in the right place
with a rant about the industry but he???s oft unduly credited by a lot of the early GNU
hangers on like Len Tower who made the project a success in spite
of RMS.
If anybody truly knew RMS they???d not tolerate any of this. He???s the most odiferous,
objectionable, sexist, pedophile I have ever met (though I???ve not met the President
yet).
