Just paying Figma because nothing else works
This blog post indirectly touches on one of my most frequent (if potentially unfair) gripes with FOSS projects, which is how few of them have a culture of polish and user-friendliness.So many of these projects seem to try to do as many things as possible somewhat passably instead of doing a handful of things really really well, and this is often not only what pushes me to use proprietary products instead but also disinclines contribution, whether that be by way of code or donations. If I try to contribute code, project misalignment with personal values is going to make getting PRs/patches approved a constant battle, and on the cash side of things it's hard to justify spending on a project I may never find usable.This means that the number of FOSS projects I contribute to is much smaller than I'd prefer it to be.
