From my experience, most FOSS software is very user friendly user-centric / user-focused, while proprietary stuff is shit. What is the most notable exception to this rule that comes to your mind?

Edit: With user friendliness, I don’t mean UI design, but things like how the software is handling user privacy, whether it sees its users as users or as money-making cattle, how it handles user feedback, compatibility with other software the user uses (vs. vendor lock-in), configurability, and similar issues.

Edit2: I was made aware that user friendliness is a defined term: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Userfriendliness

    Anki on iPhone. Pay one fee and it funds the other users but it’s forever.

    Photosync small one time fee but you get an awesome app forever.

    Pleco app. Has some add ons but well worth the money and no other fees.

        Haha, yes. Used them for ten plus years to study it. Now doing more Japanese but sucking at it. Regardless Pleco is the best language app outside of Anki. No Japanese app can do handwriting like Pleco. If I encounter some old or unclean character in Japanese I still use Pleco

          I studied some Chinese in the past, Pleco is pretty good, even the base app offers a lot of features. I’m now learning Japanese too, LOL, started in 2016 and left it in 2019 or so, but recently I’ve fallen in love with the language again.

            That’s cool! :) I also started Japanese in 2016 and also fell off in 2019 until 2020! Chinese maybe since 2014. What’s made you fall in love with it? How’s your studying been?
