Some of the FOSS greats really seem to be built to last. I totally expect to still be using Linux, Firefox, Postgres, VLC, and heaps more decades from now. So why are there so many day-to-day tasks which are still just painful using the most popular tools available? IDEs, email clients, calendars, WYSIWYG editors and spreadsheets are still decades behind their closed source counterparts.

Google's services are good enough for everyone else, and run pretty much everywhere that has a reasonably modern web browser. As a desktop Linux user for the past ~2 decades, I'm mostly happy about this.
