That's not how I feel about OSS - from Operating Systems, to Databases, to Browsers, to IDEs, to tools like Blender etc.
Of course there are certain areas where Commercial offerings are better, but can't generalize.
- jstummbillig 3y agoOh well, it's an evaluation, but I feel you may have glossed over the "in areas where and as long as big tech is feeling combative" part. > to tools like Blender "Tools like" needs a little more content to not be filled massive amounts of magical OSS thinking. Blender has in recent years gained an interesting amount of pro-adoption, but, in general, as for the industries that I have good insight into, inkscape, gimp, ardour or penpot are not winning. This is mostly debated by people who are not actually mainly and professionally using these tools. There are exceptions, of course (nextcloud might be used over google workspace when compliance is critical) but businesses will on average use the best tool, because the perceived value is still high enough and the cost is not, specificially when contrasted with labor cost and training someone to use a different tool.
