Do you twist my word on purpose maybe ?
I wrote:

Most OSS software have UX thats sucks

my point was that software developed without money incentive in mind are not nicer either

And now you say: "So you’re saying, that UIs are only good, if the user of the software pays for it directly".

Can you make a reply without twisting my words in the process ?

Have you used Microsoft Word, Windows or SAP lately?

Yes for the first two.

Your entire argument sounds more like you really want to believe Atlas Shrugged was a documentary, and not like an analysis.

I'm not American, I don't get your references.

PS: On lemmy, "Show context", is a button, not a link, you can't open it in a new tab, you cannot keep the context of what you are writing.
