I mostly agree with you, Peter, but maybe that's a little extreme.

Case in point, there was a big split a few years ago of the Mambo CMS -
which is now split into Mambo and Joomla. Each is going its merry way, but
neither is really taking down the other, or taking away from the other.
ZenCart is a derivative of OS Commerce, and each is going its merry way as
well.
