> As others said: Synfig has usability, stability & documentation issues. Thankfully, it's open source. Feel free to open some issues with them and help improv

  Open source shouldn't be an excuse for bad software One bug here and there, sure, every system has it. But some developers just put something out there with a lot of rough edges (and yes, I know it's hard) but it's usually better something simpler that works fine than something complex but very fragile and clunky

  > Thankfully, it's open source. Feel free to open some issues with them and help improving synfig. Did you bother checking their issue tracker on Github? How many tickets they have open there on these topics? Some on very basic UX stuff. Furthermore: Why must I write/fix code or file an issue to be eligible for being critical of a FOSS software? Try applying that attitude to other situations in life. E.g. reading a book with bad style or poor character development or watching a movie that could benefit from editing improvements. Do you share such findings/opinions with your friends? What do they reply? P.S.: I tried using Synfig for a commercial project over a decade ago. I provided lots of feedback on usability some of which was ignored and some of which was met with an attitude. Maybe things changed ... but looking at the issue tracker on Github (sorted by oldest first) I reserve the benefit of doubting that for now.
