> Zoom is a solid piece of software, and the developers are responsive and seem to care.

The dodgy things they've been doing suggest otherwise.

* Hijacking package preflight script rather than standard package installation mechanism, so their software is installed before the user clicks Install.

* Installing a hidden web server without user consent.

That's more about management decisions and unethical developers. It still could be a solid software despite those issues.
