For a lot of people Linux = Scary geek stuff. They ignore the costs
of Windows because they have no reference point. They cannot see the
problems since they only know the Windows way. Linux is easy now. It
is much easier than windows. Besides, what better fit for a DIY Drone,
than a DIY OS?

Ah, yes, I saw that about a week ago.
"What do you think"?
It is uncomfortable for some people to change. Paparazzi is very
much about
change. It's not Windows based. It is not a commercial product sold
for
thousands of dollars by some billion dollar company. It's freely
available
to anyone and is a collaboration.
To me what make Paparazzi so attractive is the global international
support
provided by the "community". How can that be made any better?
How many drivers (dll) are required to make that FTDI cable
work? :) ... or
to program a Tiny autopilot via USB? (using Linux vs Windows) ..
it's just
strange and new so it is feared and put down.
