    So after 9 years, who is using this obscure image compression codec?

    You are swayed primarily by popularity.

    You too. Even if you do it the other way around, it's exactly the same principle.


    Pffffffft!

    Exactly.

    FYI, GNU/Linux/FOSS is not a popularity contest.

    Agreed. You should remember that when you criticize a too popular
    software.

    GNU/Linux/FOSS offers many capabilities from which the informed user
    may choose.

    Yes. And the popularity is a something to take into account. Because
    using a software well spread has several advantages. Like, you'll be
    more likely to find help if you need it. Or, like if a lot of users find
    it good, it's more likely to be useful to you. And it will be more
    likely to have more features/support in the long run.

    If you don't want/need it then shut the fuck up.

    You should remember that, too, each time you brag about a software.
