Great write up about open source. My only problem with open source application is how many of them are not UX friendly and cater only to tech-geeks. Perhaps, one of the reason people choose propietary software is because they are quite simple to use and ready to use. Whereas with some open source programs is that you have to read the READme first before even using it.

Oh..! Hahahaha! Hmm...I guess for the people who develop them, making a trivial GUI is more of a headache with little returns...so they quit it. But that's changing fast.
...and THANKS A LOT! You reminded me of Blender ! ...and Krita both of which are amazing Open Source software competing aggressively with the top-notch proprietary software in their league!
.....and let's NOT forget, HIVE and STEEMIT are also being built on Github!!
I guess, times are fast changing, we just need to look in the right direction, and we definitely will get some great Open Source alternative to the thing we need.
Thanks once again, for reminding me of these amazing software which I had missed, I'll add them to my article soon.
Best,

I use blender and Krita both are definitely top notch. I would say 90% software I use and services I use are open source except some that are not because I have to cater to my family who is less literate when it comes to tech.
Same here! Great!
