I thought about adding a part about "what is best" - but left it out, 
cause i thought noone would care! :-p

I accept that this is in the eye of everyone, is a subjective thing.

Working on GPL'ed projects my opinion is that "best" means most subjects 
who use it, like it and got very little need for changes and requests.

Another possibility would be to just go the sientific way and set the 
"best" to something like finding the best ways to design software for a 
specific task.
