OpenSource still isn't a force in that particular area. Its Microsoft or Adobe there.


Yeah, what I meant is that, these days, the culture is such that one assumes there will be an OSS tool somewhere, before one even considers a sketchy binary. Maybe the OSS option will be inferior, but it's almost guaranteed that it will get some stuff done and not nuke your machine. That's a significant improvement (of course we know that having a github repo is no guarantee and blablabla, but it correlates well enough for most purposes).
