FOSS software demonstrates that one of the suppositions of capitalism - that innovation is primarily driven by profit motive - is incorrect. Humans want to help each other. People want to improve the world even if they’re not paid for it.
I’ve always been drawn to FOSS alternatives because they aren’t driven to try to create value by having unnecessary bells and whistles, they just work and continue to work as the years go by

Windows would be coffee from a national chain, but when you take the lid off, there’s an ad under it, there’s an ad on the side of the cup, and at the very bottom of the cup there’s an ad that you don’t see until you’ve drank all the coffee. Oh and it comes with cream and sugar by default, even if you prefer it black. It also comes with ads for a subscription to a cream and sugar delivery service.
I got VIM (possibly NeoVIM, I don’t recall) on a thumb drive a few weeks back for an assignment for one of my college courses because I can’t install anything on the college library computers and it threw me off because I had no experience with it before then. Thank goodness for the Internet knowing what to do because I had absolutely no idea how to do just about anything in it.
I’ve recently made the choice to switch to neovim as my main terminal editor and I like it. Even doing coding in it. But bigger projects I still use vs code.
