It amazes me how an open source project can outperform a 40 year old multi-billion dollar app. I think this points to major corruption and incompetence as a result of market monopolization.
- franga2000 6y agoIt doesn't though, as basically everyone in this comment section can attest to. This is simply one instance where it's better - looking at it closely, this is actually an open-source program supporting a standard open format better than proprietary software that has its own alternative - pretty common when you think about it.

I guarantee the open source is not outperforming the 40bi company offering on the metric they care about: profit. Likewise, nothing is outperforming the metric the open source project care about: developer (well, power user) satisfaction.
