    It’s usually actually the other way around in my experience

    Anything that has the label “pro” or “enterprise” suuuuuucks, is badly designed, full of bugs… take the open source app, and it just works

      There’s just so much more opportunity for feedback, use case stories, and a variety of perspectives in open source development.
