Please be more polite to other people! Why did you choose to introduce these harsh words? I never used them! The main problem with most (maybe all???) Linux developers is that they usually lack background knowledge. Le't make me an example: The problem with non-stable interfaces seems to be caused by the fact that the authors simply don't know what an interface is. So they don't know what they should treat carefully and try to keep stable. If they wouldn't read Linux sources only but look to the left and to the right (by e.g. reading Solaris and FreeBSD sources) they would discover that there is a lot of much better coded stuff out....
