Just so you know, I've always confronted people who wanted to implement say, a Microsoft Radius server implementation, so that they would finally accept using FreeRadius. And that's just one example...

  That's all good..

  The problem is when you say things like "both MS and FR are blaming each other".

  That comes across like you don't know which one to believe, and you don't know what's actually going on.

  i.e. a one-line message from MS saying "EAP error" holds the same weight as thousands of lines of debug output from FR, and the personal input of the developer.

  That's... unfriendly.  Yet people get upset when I point this out, and label me "obnoxious".

  TBH, you'd get the same response from a car mechanic.  When you bring your car in with a problem, and he tells you what's wrong, would the response be "Well, it's not really clear what's going on, I think we're just going to have to put it down to unknown issues". ??  

  I don't think so.  And if that was the response the car mechanic got, he would inform you that you're free to go elsewhere.  Because disrespecting someone's experience is not polite.

  I'm always happy to have people stick around.
