Never heard that idiom before, (is it German?) Sentiment is clear though, I would probably just say "in its infancy" or something.

Also completely agree with your points. I'm a major supporter of FOSS but at the end of the day, I'm gonna use what actually works - the same as everyone else.

That idiom is intuitive as heck though, I like it
