While I can't disagree that this is quite flamebaity, I think it's worth considering why this still resonates strongly among significant number of people (myself included) And i'd go with something along the lines of "A lot of publicly used software is crap, and getting software out there by people who work this way would probably give us better software."

I know, I know, usability and design and modern capitalism etc. etc. But a guy who uses e.g. Linux and the command-line extensively and yet doesn't program for a living can dream...
