Open source superior just means newer, even if it comes with less features and more bugs


OP here, luckily in this case, it means a more supported and vertically integrated alternative. Which does have less features, but actually gets bugs fixed and keeps up to date with the platform - so it's a net win overall IMO


Thanks, your work was of huge value to me, way more than you were rewarded for, sorry :/


This happens in proprietary software too.


Superior means it does 5 new things that the 5 maintainers wanted, but nobody else uses.
