@doctormo @jlapoutre @rysiek @inkscape Just the other day I remarked on a disconnect where FOSS-adjacent folks who don't trust opensource UX to have improved, & FOSS folks who don't trust them to be judging based on our current state.

There's a period at the start of a relationship with a generous gift giving ceremonies and a presumption of basic trust.

What often seems to kill the relationship is different expectations. Many users want to be pampered, or at least taken care of cheaply. While foss expects involvement or if you want to be taken care of it's expensive. Because of economies of scale.

So if you're a FOSSP, don't hide your relationship model! Set expectations!

Your analysis is incissive.

But it is not just FOSS. The whole industry/project of supplying software and websites to domestic users with low levels of IT skills appears, with a small proportion of exceptions, to be based on dishonest representations of the software and websites around ease of use and ease of mastering.

A friend defends MS Windows, stating it is designed for the corporate environment with an IT department and trainings.

You, or they, need to speak with a marriage counselor.
