I think I just came back at a point where there was a big mess (pun unintended but I'm keeping it !) and extrapolated too much.
Licencing and the "UME" stuff still looked pretty bad and yes, some devs are more emo (or more "corporate"), while the majority stays focused on the code - and of course, real life vs. allocation of free time is the biggest factor in anyone's involvement.
Still, some of the dumping stuff always seems to come at the unfortunate intersection of money and ego. The different project leaders have also had recognizable influence on the general orientation over the years, even though there's been a (mostly) coherent vision and mandate of MAME, of emulation ethics / ideals.
I've never been anything but an observer, but I think the image, team dynamics and politics of a project matter, in software like in anything else. I'm wondering how today, one of the biggest, most complex and advanced pieces of open source out there can be so (relatively) obscure when in the same 20 or so years consumer technology got so mainstream...
