  • If you’re going to be an asshole about it, pick something other than Blender. That is one of the best examples of how organizations produce cohesive software that adheres to design standards with the express purpose of making it user friendly. User friendly is not the same as easy. It means ‘respect the user’, not ‘fisher price’.

    You’re espousing the exact attitude that drives people away from contributing to FOSS to solve problems so please crawl into a deep hole and spam neofetch on your Arch Thinkpad, cretin.



  • I don’t disagree that it is a feature of organization, but if you’re talking about creating a product that has been designed around a common philosophy and UX, that is diametrically opposed to fucking around with stuff. There’s a place for that and it does improve people’s skills, I also don’t disagree there. All I’m saying is there exists a tendency for software produced by organizations to adhere to a UX philosophy.



  • Eh. One thing proprietary software has going for it is clear design goals and the leadership to create a cohesive UX. Open source projects tend to be a grab bag of tools that work well for developers.

    Not saying I don’t love FOSS, but there’s definitely stuff that proprietary software does better in a practical sense, whatever else your opinion of it.
