I don't freely choose to use RMS's software unless it's necessary to run the OS (e.g gcc). Evenso, I try to keep it to a minimum.

Good, glad to see you're making progress. As Stallman slowly gets more exposed I expect many others to work towards ditching his products as well.

You're missing the point I'm trying to make. Completely.

This isn't because of ideology (contrary to your belief); this is because right now, most of the tools that do the job aren't FSF-sanctioned items. Further, I'm not completely opposed to GNU tools--I use them when I need to.

But I don't bend over backward to use software because it does or does not use a particular license. I want what does the best job.
