Gimp is a classic example of OPs point.
Mozilla really ? Lack of vision and focus driving Firefox into irrelevance. And also started on the back of a commercial product.
Blender started as a commercial software and is being spearheaded by Ton ever since (my very uninformed impression), which again reinforces OPs point.
- adra 3y agoYeah, gimp is pretty crap and it is what it is sure. Clearly they work in a world that has more smaller boutiques where replacing Adobe with supporting OSS alternatives isn't a clear winner. Industries that have a ton of engineers are more likely to build their own alternatives, and some of them realize that they can cost share by being OSS.
