The reason $MSFT loves open source is because they can get press hype over projects that are 75% complete (which is the main goal), and they don't even need to support it, document it, or make it actually work.
What's even worse is they have managed to abstract most of the support away in this cycle. You can't get enterprise support now because they gutted that entirely. You can't get them to do anything on github because they keep moving all the projects around and erasing them all or auto closing the tickets and no one on first line support knows anything now other than how to reset a Microsoft account password.
They're following the "rules" from "The Cathedral and the Bazaar", remember. Specifically, the "Release early and often" bit, for the purposes of this conversation. Microsoft are considered "good open source citizens" because of the changes they've made to follow the written non-rules as well as the the unwritten rules.
If you're going to fault Microsoft for following the rules, fault EVERYONE ELSE that does it as well.
I want people to realize that they crap on Microsoft hard for things that they gladly accept from other developers or other companies. The double standards in the IT community are absolutely insane.
Microsoft are seen as the safe choice, so their stuff has to "just work".
That's obviously a bad place for innovation within Microsoft, but i don't really think anyone cares about the future of Microsoft.
Base your expectations on reality, and you'll have a much better time.
who would've thought that managing hundreds of repos with shitton of issues, dependencies and people is difficult to get at 1st attempts
