It's so nice to see them all growing, but this is just the truth, sorry. (lemmy.ml)

Truth is..... Many FOSS lacks significant polish and features as... Well it's free. I don't mind paying for a quality product

    Yeah FOSS is rarely better than the commercial equivalent. Almost universally they're terrible in a hundred minor ways that makes them annoying as hell to use. The best FOSS products come from... Company sponsorship.

    Depends. Something like Krita? Absolutely. LibreOffice? Not so much.
    I'm on team Sync on this one, it just has the advantage of 10+ years of maturity.

    It's just one developer. I don't understand why the entire discussion people pretend you are either fully for FOSS else you're completely against proprietary software. It isn't black and white.

    Just not true. Proprietary software starts on the wrong foot by asking, "how can we make money from this?". FOSS software is clean from that bs and it's so easy for it to improve since outside people can (sort of) aid in development. I use proprietary software as a last resort and it doesn't happen very often.
