Open source vs commercial is a false dichotomy. But having migrated out of the Google/Facebook world, I find having sometimes less polished software that does what I want is a much better experience than big tech platforms that only allow me to do what they want.
- danielheath 5y agoThis is a way better way to describe it. Open source projects will almost always provide a less polished product. It'll often be better in ways that matter to me (eg availability of a given bit of software over a decade+ span of time, finer control over UX). But those things are not important to everyone, and that's fine.
