From my experience, most FOSS software is very user friendly user-centric / user-focused, while proprietary stuff is shit. What is the most notable exception to this rule that comes to your mind?
Edit: With user friendliness, I don’t mean UI design, but things like how the software is handling user privacy, whether it sees its users as users or as money-making cattle, how it handles user feedback, compatibility with other software the user uses (vs. vendor lock-in), configurability, and similar issues.
Edit2: I was made aware that user friendliness is a defined term: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Userfriendliness
I guess if you’re looking at it through the lens of a user who actually knows what the fuck they are doing, and not the average, common denominator that the proprietary shit is designed for. 🤷🏻♂️
Proprietary shit is always easier to work with, if you’re just wanting the most basic thing that software does. It’s unfriendly when you try to do more than that with it. FOSS is the other way around in my experience. If you don’t know shit, it won’t help you. But if you’re familiar with what you’re trying to do, FOSS software actually lets you get into it and do all the nitty-gritty without fussing.
Every piece of free and open source software I use is because I wanted to do something more than what a commercial piece of software would allow me to do.
