To be fair, Apple is a bit hostile towards open source developers. I can write windows and linux software from both windows and linux, but to write apple software I need a mac and a developer account that costs money. If firefox depends on patches from the community, they will receive less patches for macos features because of this asymmetry.
- dotancohen 3y agoLinux user with no care for Mac features. Firefox may be open source, but Mozilla is a company with a paid development team. It is exactly these types of issues - UX, UI - on which the dev team should be working. I'm sure that a lot of features come from the open source community, but the polish and sound implementation is on the dev team. For what it's worth, Firefox on KDE is fine.
- nightpool 3y agoI have never needed to pay for a developer account to run my own code on my own machine. What? How does this have anything to do with OP's point?
