There are plenty of useful opensource applications, as evidenced by this thread.
Yes and now please count the amount of useful applications that aren’t open source. Spoiler: They dwarf open source applications by quantity and quality by far.
How you make a living isn’t really relevant.
I’m repeating myself: I’m doing a lot of open source in my leisure time, this is absolutely relevant, I would be able to invest a lot more time into it if I didn’t have to make a living somehow else. I directly see this with other people that were funded and aren’t anymore, so they have to use their time to make money… (and the other way around)
My point is, implying that one should be surprised to find that an app is both useful and opensource is a misconception.

My point is, that time is in fact limited…
