Why couldn't a free-software unix-like environent be made colaboratively?

Unix-like can be intended more on the specifics side or more on the ideas side.

The GNU-brand cat is BSD, or unix specifics, style (considered harmful), and Stallman
thought an integrated environment application (emacs) inspired by the one he used on
ITS was an all-important first step in this unix-like environment project (although he
didn't called it an environment).

So this unix-like environment project was to be unix-like on the specifics, but with
dubious ITS-quality 「improvements.」

Stallman is a systemizer through and through; he said the editor of the 「GNU system」
was going to be emacs, bash the shell, etc. He thinks he has the right to make
decisions for projects under the GNU umbrella; he promotes free software but with the
GNU umbrella as the way, an umbrella which serves not only to give him credit,
but which he controls.

Fortunately a monolithic kernel is more simple and efficient than a microkernel.
