From the veritable "In the beginning was the command line":

Applications create possibilities for millions of credulous users, whereas OSes impose limitations on thousands of grumpy coders, and so OS-makers will forever be on the shit-list of anyone who counts for anything in the high-tech world.

And that was written in 1999. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
