what's the point of judging? Sync is the only app so far that has full, thoughtful support for foldable phones and the dev genuinely has been putting in a lot of work into it. I bought the No Ads IAP and I'm perfectly happy with it, but there are so many good options now for those that want something completely free.

Because the open source community has been full of a bunch of people who built whole personalities on shitting on anything not FOSS. And even though they now have an opportunity to bring a lot more people into the community than before they'd rather play these stupid arrogant superiority games instead of just letting people enjoy things how they want to enjoy them.

Right? No need for the smugposting

Cause FOSS people are worse than vegans. It's like Linux users but infinitely worse.

FOSS ≠ better or good. Most of the FOSS Lemmy apps are usability nightmares right now. The only reason I was using jerboa for so long is because sync wasn't out yet

FOSS apps often suffer from mediocre UX/UI since the expected audience are power users, but it alienates users that aren't. They're functional for those who need it, yes, but is the GUI high quality? More often than not, they aren't.

I'm not saying FOSS can't have bad UI, like Blender for example, but those are the exception, not the rule.

For me, Connect and Thunder are getting there, but they don't have the same level of quality and finesse as Sync. Though to be fair, Sync has a decade of work put into it.
