You have Vim, Emacs, Linux. Everything is hackable, configurable to a fault. You can write extensions, people actually have config files to share.

But this isn't an inherent feature of open source, bit why does it happen so often compared to proprietary software? Is it cultural?

Or am I wrong? Maybe closed-source is just as open?
