Oh, AutoDesk...you have such a way with words. Honestly, I would rather learn to design in OpenSCAD than send AutoDesk a single penny.

This is it exactly. The foss works fine and does the job these guys are just whiny bitches who want everything handed to them in perfect condition...but without conditions.

Oh no I have to mod a config file to make it do what I want...why can't the devs just read my mind?!?!??

nobody has to read anyone's fucking mind, why can't you just make it a fucking settings menu? You're the ones making it HARDER TO EVANGELIZE FOSS. For fuck's sake! You're entirely missing the point!

And the people who defend Windows like they do - the ones who say it's objectively better - have probably never had to support it professionally on either the help desk side or system admin side. I've done plenty of both, and I absolutely LOATH Windows because of it.

To think that Windows is perfect... My God, what luck they must have had with it. I've run into problems where Microsoft themselves were unable to figure out the cause OR the solution, even when paid to do so. We got a refund on that experience, but I have NEVER run into that with Linux or FOSS. Given enough information regarding a problem, I have ALWAYS had someone who will know the answer.
