    So it doesn’t feel better than the typical bloated half working must pay now and “sacrifice your first born” app?

        In my experience, FOSS apps are not the alternative, they are what any app should be. They look, feel and work better than any paid app, yet people continue to call them “alternatives”

            Lack of polish stems from open source apps having engineers write the code without necessarily having input from a UX designer, would you think?

            Meanwhile if you have a paid app, you can use your budget to hire UX/QA etc.?

              Any idea how many UX designers help with open source? KDE looks way better than windows (IMHO) and having used it for 20 years I just seriously wonder why people pay hundreds of dollars for windows crap while they can have something better for free
