@cwillmes
OSS and in general non-corpo tools have to get more usable for jane and joe average. "Just works" is a feature and that comes with a price: ditching feature creep for feature polish. A lot of projects are not willing to do that. I am eager- and anxiously looking towards KDE Plasma 6 and wonder if it will be a pita like the transition from 3 to 4 and from 4 to 5. I am willing to deal with this shit since I use it since 1997...

@blackcoffeerider @tante I get it. And of course this will be a pita! But look, Fairphone has <100 employees, while Google has literally thousands of programers.

@cwillmes
Yes indeed but here is what bugs me a bit like
@tante :
These 100 fairphone employees should only have to worry about the technical platform and drivers. They should not be held responsible that every calendar/todo/notes/filesync app on fdroid is only functional as far as the main developers see fit who flip everyone of asking for proper support of "standard feature X defined in webdav since 2003" with "only morons need that".

@blackcoffeerider @cwillmes @tante mmm, isn't at this point a matter of how developers can actually create standardized ways to handle data and interact between their applications?
