I agree, there is a lot of fluff. However I think FOSS is more of a web, not every piece of software has a billion users, but the collection of projects as a whole prop each other up. You have a language by itself, but also all of its libs that make the language useful.
I agree. The split and collective nature makes it hard to assess and fundamentally support though - which is what I was referring to in one point.
