It always feels like some form of VR tech comes out with some sort of fanfare and with a promise it will take over the world, but it never does.

    Not here to downvote. But I will say there is some good changes as of the past five years.

    From a personal perspective: there’s a lot of GOOD open-source software that has great user experiences. VLC. Bitwarden. OBS. Joplin. Jitsi.

    Even WordPress (the new Blocks editor not the ugly classic stuff) in the past decade has a lot of thought and design for end users.

    For all the GIMP/Libre office software that just has backwards ass choices for UX, or those random terminal apps that require understanding the command line – they seem to be the ones everyone complains about and imprinted as “the face of open-source”. Which is a shame.

    There’s so much good open-source projects that really do focus on the casual non technical end user.
