How do you propose to "get FreeBSD recognized by professional developers and software companies"? What are the steps you believe will achieve this goal, so that the FreeBSD people can "get off their butts" and "do it"? Enlightenment is not some "thing" you can just "give" to professional developers and software companies, after which they will "have" it, and forever after prefer FreeBSD to all other platforms. You can complain that the discussion is not resolving "the real issue", but the complaints do no good without some action to put in their stead; what implementable *process* do you propose?
