No I'm not the first one to claim that. While nowadays this is rarely mentioned but a few years ago when Linux started branching internet was full of articles saying that such approach makes Linux as bad OS. This was mostly becouse there was so many significant differences between distrubutions that as developer you had to make quite a few code modifications for your program to be able to run on all of them.
Nowadays this is not so much of a problem as the major differences between distributions have decreased. Also nowadays developments of seperate distributions are much more organized as they were a few years back.
So don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that Linux is a bad OS. Sure there are some terible distributions but then again we also have terible Windows editions
All I want to say is that poorly organized opensourced project can quickly lead to different development branches and incompatible editions. Now you wouldn't want to have several different Factorio editions would you?
