Work Rant

It is now clear to me that the quality of configuration methods and relevant documentation is much higher in open-source projects than it is in commercial software. Let me note that I am considering only server-side software here; I won't speak to user apps like Firefox or Office or what-have-you. I mean wikis and databases and such.

I also have a theory to explain this: the developers of open-source software are almost all interested users and administrators of the software, else they would not think it interesting enough to work on. Most commercial software developers are not ardent users of their own software.

Money can't buy love.
