Computer science students do that all the time! The hostility comes not because it's new (or because it isn't Linux-based), but because Google always comes up with these sorts of things that offer no substantial benefit over the old established ways of doing it, not just springing from the misguided idea that if something is old it must be bad (more than enough examples in technology of others being guilty of these thoughts), but in an attempt to gain absolute control. There may not even be any particularly evil intentions behind that as they might truly believe that if only everyone followed the Google way, the world would be a better place. The problem is, for most people, no way is the best way. They don't need an advertising company in control of every aspect of their lives.

Or maybe they just have far too much money building up in the great Silicon Valley bubble (which will hopefully burst any minute now) and they've run out of islands to buy and politicians to lobby.
