Is it that the average Linux developer is much younger?
There must be some reason for the difference. Is
disrespect
a intrinsic part of the Linux community?
Perhaps the linux community is more concerned with
coming
up with the "best" (or perhaps "better proven") answer
to
somebody's problem instead of giving them what they
think
they want.

What about all of the clearly disparaging remarks, where
does this immaturity come from?

Do you mean the remarks including linux editors that are
quite
mature and still being improved being archaic,
implications
that people who have worked professionally in the computer
industry for 20+ years cannot be productive, suggestions
that
the editors must not have features because they do not
work
under the terminal emulator you're using, etc? If you
attack
a community (or the community's pet editors), don't expect
an
enthusiastic response.

Some of the disparaging remarks that were directed at me had
the demeanor of a junior high school student or younger.
