  "ZeroBUGS is a visual debugger for Linux, a project that
   ate up all of my spare time between 2004 and 2008."

Four or five years of "all spare time" can be quite a bit.
And the result is something that supposedly runs on Linux
(which I couldn't verify, since my distro doesn't ship
the packages it depends on...)

Nobody mentioned hundred man-years. But having something
usable, cross-platform takes a while.
