New comment by chiefalchemist in "Open Source Is Winning, and Now It's Time for People to Win Too"

I'd like to add...no one (read: users / consumers) care. It could be Martian source and as long as it worked 99.9% of people would be fine with it.

The problem is, OSS has changed the biz model for software development, but we're still stuck with bugs, poor design, shite UX, frustrations, etc.

Yes, OSS solved a problem. But it wasn't The Problem. So now what?

And while I do embrace the OSS ideal, I wish I could total up the hours lost to vague documentation, delays in support (if support even exists), etc. For example, you can probably build a damn good modern CMS with all the time lost to the WordPress codex.
