are you joking around with the 4th place? surely wordpress being popular doesnt make this guy a "legend" wordpress is one of the worst damn OS apps i had to work with. seriously, if i hadnt seen this for myself i prolly would never believe this form of code was ever written. #
this is nice effort....as u know here is no need of controversy for "Ranking or sorting"...this is small effort to bring together the great legends.And this list is pasted here only for making it more effective...so our comments,suggestions will improve it more.... #

Why IN THE WORLD is making wordpress more "legendary" than making the Linux Kernel and the C Programming Language? Dennis Ritchie For the Win!!! #
