Every software will be bad software if you use it often enough to the point you step into some specific usage that developer and tester never imagine about.
The point isn't whether it is good or bad. The point is nobody use it like that thus nobody knows it would break.
The good thing about open source software in general is: if you complain and give a detailed procedure of how it happens, there is much higher chance somebody might looks into it (or yourself if you will). Closed source software in the other end: good luck, find a workaround if you hope or just stuck with it.
- giancarlostoro 4y agoThat's why I'm asking what I'm asking, but Open Source is also not guaranteed to be funded.
- ldng 4y agoPlenty of funded proprietary closed-source software are plagued with bugs too
- mmis1000 4y agoThe keyword here is 'much higher'. It is of course not guaranteed. As a developer, if somebody already done the trouble shooting or even root cause finding for you. You are more likely to fix the bug first because it will only cost you a little time compares to other completely non-investigated error report. And that also benefit the users because they got the bug affecting them fixed earlier. This don't happen in closed source softwares.
