That's not strictly speaking true, especially when politics and money get involved. Unless you're using a very loose definition of "force" which doesn't include any kind of network effect at all.
- zxzax 5y agoI feel your pain, I wish it were cheaper to develop software, but sadly the costs to compete with Microsoft and Apple are great. GNOME and KDE and such are already giving you all the code basically for free, I don't know what else they could do to help you out there. Accepting all feature requests that come their way is not a solution, because that usually tends to increase development costs even more.
