Camino is NOT built on top of XULRunner, unless something very fundamentally changed since I last looked at the code.

In fact, many of the problems we've had arise from the fact that it has lots of dependencies inside core Gecko that are thought to be private interfaces.

Kind of offtopic, but I'll throw it out anyway:

Why are you not simply using a shell script if you just want to run a few shell commands? I think in this case it would make the code even simpler.

This is such a strawman...

There's no paradox. Hardware is never open, it's always sold by a commercial vendor.

As someone else mentioned, most of us think that Apple makes the best hardware, so that's what we use. Simple as that.

You can install whatever you want on the laptop. Either use OS X, and go wild with MacPorts and install all the unix free software you want, or go all the way and dual-boot with Linux, for example.
