distrowatch comment: "Ubuntu Breezy Badger - is it too dumbed down? "

[Rohan Dhruva]

I personally feel that the user must do some research before writing such
articles. The fact that he uses GCC means that he is atleast an average
user, who surely can search a bit and find the right package for himself.

I have made my thoughts really clear, as shown by Comment # 10 on that page
