...Another problem that is becoming increasingly apparent is the copying of features from rival products. Popular Linux distributions tend to copy features (particularly those in the window managers) from Windows; Microsoft copied alternative browsers with the blocking of pop-up windows; Mozilla copied mouse gestures from Opera.
While there is nothing bad about implementing features that are popular, valuable, or just clever, it is far easier for a developer to copy an existing feature that solves a problem than it is to devise a new, innovative solution to such a problem. And what incentive is there for a developer to implement a new feature when said developer knows that any good feature will be copied by his competitors?...
