I think it is suggesting that 37signals' software can be easily replaced by free alternatives (look at the links): google (gmail/calendar, etc.) accounts, skype, yammer, trello.
Based on the date the link was submitted to reddit was done around the same time as the Curebit fiasco. I like 37Signals but admittedly they did behave like arrogant aholes during it. Not something I'd expect from such well respected members of the tech community. The bit where DHH tweets their investors is what does it for me.
