Why should Linux users have to agree? run what you want, it's your computer.
Because there are only a few people who actually build this kind of software and if they cant agree how it should look. No projects will have the dev power to come out with a solution.
Well, if you want a mass market device that runs Linux, you have to meet the market. Otherwise we can start tracking 2525 as the year of Linux on the smartphone. If man is still alive.
