    Tbf this is not exclusive to open source software. iOS famously didn’t have “copy and paste” until version 3, for instance. The zealots were the ones that insisted that it was unnecessary until Apple rolled it out.

    Plex constantly has requests for obvious features that are stated to not be on their roadmap.

    Yes it is frustrating, but it isn’t exclusive to open source development.

      Lmfao unlocked a memory with this one, remember when Apple tried to force people to pay for that update? You could easily find the package and manually install it instead, but still lmfao.

      I think the difference is that with open source you won’t lose money if the users leave. If you have creating a software that is not selling because it is missing a feature, you are incentivised to implement it.
