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

        The developer is legendary for not changing the UI, he does what he likes and if you don’t like it you can use any other software. But Calibre is still the best at what it does.

        There are solutions like Calibre-Web that bypass the UI with a better one, they offer a limited number of features though
