Honestly I am mildly curious about this, but I am feeling a little too drunk and lazy at this point in my day to look it up and the linked article was not helpful. Can someone eli5 what has the French government so salty? Thanks in advance, -Cas

Not everybody is fanatical about it. Some of us prefer open source software, but practically speaking wont use software that is straight up inferior. “What are the benefeits of this product over this other product” is always a valid question, and needs a better answer than “because it’s open source.” At least for me.

I’m not saying that cherry tree is inferior software, btw. I used it for like 5 years and loved it.
