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

    Proprietary shit is always easier to work with, if you’re just wanting the most basic thing that software does.

    Do you have examples?

    My image viewer shows images, my pdf viewer shows pdfs, my file browser shows files, my music player plays music files, and so on. All of them can do a little more, but the basic functionality is just there usually.
