> companies of the world have managed to weaken that resolve through slick marketing Ah yes. The only reason people chose “closed” source products over FOSS is because they’re less intelligent than you. All the dumb people (not you of course) got tricked by slick marketing! It couldn’t possibly be that the companies behind “closed” products are invested far more in understanding and serving what their users actually need/want, since their users pay them. It couldn’t possibly be that “closed” products focus on actual product-market-fit instead of developer-enthusiasm-fit. Open source has absolutely made some amazing contributions to the software ecosystem of today. But let’s not kid ourselves, we need those “evil” profit-seeking companies as well.
