DD-WRT works for *some* people better than openwrt.
And so we're bickering about it because ... ??
I ditched DD-wrt because A. it was crap. B. it was infringing the gpl at the time. and C. I don't think you've used X-wrt before ;)
If you have actual evidence of B, then let the Software Freedom Law Center and Free Software Foundation Europe know so they can do something about it. I'm sure they'd love to get involved ...
and really? I'm running x-wrt, right now. Or at least I would be, if it would forward ports as it's supposed to ... except it doesn't, even if I configure it through the openwrt command interface (because the GUI is so under developed at this point it gets confused when editing the rules it created itself). I'll get it fixed eventually, but even the denizens of the x-wrt IRC channel were stumped ... and that's AFTER I had to debug it's PPPoE problems and then update the online documentation appropriately.
I have also run dd-wrt for some time and I *never* encountered any serious bugs with such core features, let alone had to spend this much time fixing them.
Don't get me wrong, I like openwrt and it's obviously a very capable and customisable operating system but recommending it as suitable for every user out there, makes about as much sense as recommending Windows for all.
Let's not forget there's a rainbow of users out there, ppl! ;)
I think you might be the one forgetting that ;)

How so? You called me out for suggesting dd-wrt might serve a certain class of user better than openwrt. If you don't think openwrt fits all, what were you drawing attention to?
