Open-Source Software Sucks

“Maybe, someday, human altruism will make possible the Grand Dream of Open-Source, where projects are open-source, and well thought-out, and easy-to-use, and easy-to-install, and highly efficient, and bug free. Until then, open-source software is going to run great, but be painful to use, and closed-source software will be easy, but less efficient.”

I agree completely. As much as I want to love software like Ubuntu and OpenOffice, I’ve come to realize that the lack of usability is not worth the money saved.
