Earlier quoted context omitted.

If the creator of Solidity, Gavin Wood, cannot write a secure multisig wallet in Solidity, pretty much confirms Ethereum is hacker paradise. [1] https://t.co/WAR3eltfWl [2] https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/hackers-seize-32-million-in-...

That's tweet is factually incorrect. Gavin Wood DID NOT write the change that caused that bug, he was not the assigned reviewer either. https://github.com/paritytech/parity/pull/3773

Gavin Wood is the designer of solidarity and the founder of Parity.

how does this compare to Tezos?

Tezos and zeppelinOS are very different things. zeppelinOS is building an operating system on top of the Ethereum Virtual Machine to provide secure infrastructure for the development of smart contract applications. A technology that is still being developed but used by thousands of developers, and maturing into it's next phase. Tezos is building a new blockchain with a different infrastructure altogether.

Millions of developers are working with Ethereum?

Thousands! Little typo over there. Hopefully soon they will be millions :-)

Yes but that doesn't mean that they wrote this particular code. Authorship isn't transitive.

I know who Gavin Wood is. The fact is he didn't write the change the tweet claimed.

What about this is an operating system?

It's an operating system insofar as it's a layer of services on top of the "bare metal" that is the EVM. Through those services it allows the development of complex applications in the same way a normal OS does.

Seems like "framework" or "library" would be better; this isn't exactly a scheduler or resource allocator in the same way an os implies.
