> tools tend to be better because they are open source
This is not true in general. It isn't even true for programming tools. Paid/non-OSS IDEs (JetBrains suite, Visual Studio) are often better in many ways than their FOSS equivalents (Eclipse, Qt Creator, etc).
Other examples: office programs (MS Office vs LibreOffice), digital AV workstations (Adobe suite, Da Vinci Resolve vs Kdenlive, ShotCut, etc), 3D editors (Blender is the one exception here, but Maya is still damn good)...
- SergeAx 4y agoI didn't mean that all OSS tools are better than proprietary/commercial, this is not true obviously. I mean that making tool OSS usually makes it better.
