isn’t just code

Understood, and I agree. Even with solid code (*) poor architecture, or architecture that is ill suited to what it has become makes for an extremely fragile code base.

(*) I doubt they have even moderately solid code, what with their apparent focus on adding features first, then patching and fixing. Maybe exposure to thousands of open source developers could help with that.

The idea of a work alike open source OS, similar to Linux's relationship to Unix has some merit. However, there is still the massive, convoluted, and problematic API to deal with and mimic.
