AA is the Linux of therapies. Free, crowd sourced and rough around the edges but for some people it works well enough to get the job done.

edit: maybe linux is a bit strong, php?

I wonder what the BSD of therapies is. Smaller but dedicated groups, less rough around the edges but still managing to do less than Linux therapy.

It is the windows 10 of treatments. It is cheap. It is often forced upon those in need. It only "works" if one buys into a theology. It suggests that there are no alternatives and actively seeks to weeken those that appear. Many of its lauded features are of little utility to most users. And it is american.
