And I like GNU. ... And I do like GNU/Linux, cause it's both Free Software, and I really like plurality (or "chaos" in other words). In addition I like "dektop cosmetics" and a commando line interface on the same time on the same machine, cause I can use both on specific tasks and I like the idea of "non-proprietarization of code and knowledge", which is the main difference between Open Source and Free Software and which is one of the most valid argument in this debate (thanks to Florian Cramer). And this idea of non-proprietarization is the lesson, which has to be learned by the proprietarization of Unix in the 80s.
