Have you seen the quality of most open source software? It’s a joke. Most of it is about people pushing their own agendas and self promoting

There's so much good open source software that I'm not even annoyed at how wrong your statement really is.

Well they’re right in that all software is a mess, but oss is certainly not worse than anything else.

Sadly, yes, you're not wrong. However, have you seen the quality of most proprietary software? No, you haven't, no one has, because it's proprietary.

Perhaps, but some of it is not, and that is the difference to proprietary software.
