I think getting a better cola than the original would be great. Coke did get
it right and won our "hearts". So getting as good as Coke to start with would
not be a bad accomplishment.
Otherwise it seems that what you are saying is that OSS is not aiming high
enough?
If so, one could argue both ways as there are many better product than the
commercial counterpart. Ditto there are worse, but that's obviously due to
the difference in quality, and enough funds to live on, between developers,
OSS or not.
Otherwise we have seen that overall OSS code looks better, has fewer bugs.
