Years of work can still amount to absolute crap. You're not shielded from criticism because your software is free.

Oh come on. Half this thread is praise for the app. This one post is about how he picked a terrible technology. He'll live. Best case scenario, he'll even learn a valuable lesson, to not use Electron.

NVidia's drivers aren't regularly blacklisted[1] or complained about[2] for being absolute crap [1] https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/commit/26993380b16487649c2ae5... [2] https://dolphin-emu

AMD giving competition to NVidia would require them to actually put some effort into their drivers to get tolerable performance and a list of bugs that isn't as long as my arm.

In most professions, there's a feeling of unity. Taxi companies and drivers will either stand with striking drivers, or be respectful enough to not disrupt their action. Then comes Uber, the vulture that swoops in all in the name of di
