== Its very biased ==
Rolling your own bootloader is very biased and has a very negative tone. That's what I got from it. The neg tone set from the start from the author made it hard to concentrate on the actual page written. There are a lot of people who prefer to learn and write their own stuff, it makes them feel like they accomplished something, even its something little. There are a lot of people who don't care to use tools. It was said that if a bootloader source code was presented then someone would be using that premade bootloader instead of trying to make one and that is the not case at all.
There are quite a few people who actually study the source code to understand it even if they never use the product.
At what point does the art become lost?? Idk. I like os dev but starting to hate all the biased pages with limited and narrow views. What is the point of even writing a page if you are not going to properly cover the topic? If you have the knowledge, on a knowledge giving/providing site, but are refusing to share the knowledge. That makes no sense. Is this not a site to come and learn how to code the things you want to learn to code? I almost felt the reason the author didn't provide the bootloader, was because he himself has become too reliant on tools, that he was unable to provide the bootloader from lack of knowledge. Not trying to start a fight, not trying to be rude, or anything like that. Its just what I personally took from the page. I am not completely against tools either, because I use some myself, that I find help the workflow. I am merely writing my view point on this page because it has irked me every time I have read it. This was/is an introductory page, is this really the tone, we want to set for new visitors when they read from the beginning?
