Dammit, Richard, that's nonsense and you know it. Linux is not what you envisioned 15 years ago. The "Linux" system is basically the GNU system, which is the system we started working for. To be sure, the GNU system is not entirely as I envisioned it 15 years ago: over time, plans change. All of the guts of the OS are contrary to the thing that the FSF has been working toward. Most of the guts are exactly what we have been working toward; in fact, most of the guts of this system come from the GNU Project. The kernel is an entirely different design from what the FSF is trying to accomplish. Yes, it is a different kernel, but the kernel is just a part of the guts of the system. You've created a bunch of tools -- sure, sure, vital ones, we know and nobody's denying it -- that can be compiled and used under just about any OS under the sun. We did write a number of tools, but that is just a part of the larger job we did: developing a free operating system.
