I am exactly in the team that makes an open source entrant competing against a closed source incumbent. We’re talking about data acquisition and inspection with certain kinds of scientific instruments.
I personally like our software much better, also it’s much easier to extend since it’s written with pyqt and numpy.
But our customers are busy people, with complicated and efficient workflows built with the competition.
Every time they get stuck because the UI is unfamiliar or because a feature is missing (all niche use cases, but everyone has a mission-critical corner case so…) they are wasting time they don’t have, to work around stuff that would have been easy if the stuck with the competition.
Just replying to them “Skill Issue” is not going to cut it. If acted 20% as insufferable as you, I’m not sure we would have any customers.
The state is not gonna save you. I’m not putting anyone into camps. I’m not licking the boot of capitol. Like you are so obviously are doing. You’re so lost I’m starting to think you’re a bot if not for the spelling errors.
Dude, honestly, cut the crap.

This is the exact take that has made open source play second fiddle.
Good luck. Maybe after a revolution you might pull your head out of your ass but I feel like your the “just following orders” type.
Nah, just someone who cares more shut helping than I care about making sure everyone knows how much better I am.
Good luck with your revolution, it sounds like you’ll have a blast putting people into camps!
