By stating this view aren't you just reinforcing the stereotype of
Unix geeks that we're all just a bunch of snobs?  Yes, I'm making
assumptions about you based upon a general stereotype of Unix geeks
and a small sample of your comments.  Much like how you stereotyped an
entire community based on your observation of a few people in
#kubuntu.
