Maybe in north america, but north america != world.

I'm not sure what you mean by closed source package management system. 
It's all rpm based, you could work your package management via nothing 
but an xterm if you wanted to.

I'm biased (probably more accurate to say a bigot) here, I've found euro 
(German and Scandinavian in particular) coders on the whole to be much 
tighter and cleaner when it comes to coding or putting stuff together. 
Whether 16 colour C64 demos or KDE. Yanks, on the other hand, seem to be 
alot more profit driven with a "yeah, it's almost ok and we need to get 
to market asap to make money" kind of deal.
