How to make your software really unpopular.
1. Put "GNU" in the name.
2. Don't distribute binaries.
3. Make it depend on a dozen other open-source libraries.
4. Require very precise versions of each dependency or risk compile errors.
5. Use a lot of Python glue for the build process
6. Use as many things as possible to make it nearly impossible to build on anything other than a Linux machine.
7. Complain when another piece of software which is arguably less good is 1000x more popular than yours.
