What's pulling you away from open source, and what will pull you back?

@LateNightLinux i’m finding that the proprietary software have a lower barrier to entry than the open source ones. For example, to put a solid line around an object in gimp it’s around 12 to 17 steps. To do the same thing in Photoshop is only eight clicks. Also, the community has become exhausting. All the fighting and bickering has prevented forward momentum . And in the larger projects, I see a ton of corruption. I am of course specifically talking about Mozilla and Firefox.
@LateNightLinux I’m also so tired of fighting everything. It feels like no matter what I want to do with an open source application. It’s a 2 to 3 hour slog to do one thing. I don’t run into the same issues with most proprietary applications.
