Unfortunately:
- A lot of free software either sucks or is entirely non-existent for many use cases
- Free software is not entirely immune to this behavior either
- thefr0g 5y agoThe point is that with FLOSS you can fix both of these problems yourself.
- joshuaissac 5y agoThat is not the case for any software that is not trivial. Recompiling to remove ads from a free program may be achievable but something like adding the missing support for Excel VBA into LibreOffice Calc is beyond the capability of almost all users.
- holri 5y agoYou can also pay competent developers to add it: https://libreoffice.cib.de/ https://libreoffice.cib.de/ Even easier if almost all users unite in crowdfunding.
- holri 5y agoI prefer to not use a feature instead of using a hostile one. In my more than 20 years of journey in the free software world, I never came across a user hostile free software. This is in stark contrast to proprietary software I tried.
