I don't know about FreeBSD, but Firefox and OpenOffice have both been criticized for slow implementation of features, to the point where they are in danger of being overtaken by other projects. Google Chrome is much faster to add features, as is LibreOffice, and both of these are posing a major threat to their counterparts. Of course, these are not their sole advantages, but they are a substantial part. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
