    Let's just get this out of the way first - you can choose ONLY if you are a dev. If you are a user you can choose jack shit, be miserable about it and pay for the privilege. I know us non programmers are still considered NPCs in the parlance of the youths, but we should still say it

      Eh, users can still learn a little, and fiddle with their personal stuff. My little "corebooted Chromebook running Q4OS Linux looking like Windows XP, with background from Apple and the start menu labeled as Finder" brings me joy every time I use it. It was and is pure fun.

      And the great thing about enthusiastic devs is that they tend to be happy to spread the joy of their own personal projects and help, unless they get overwhelmed by help requests.

        Oh absolutely, I just mean we usually have no choice in our tools. There are rare exceptions, like using blender instead of something autodesk, but I can't think of others similar to that

          What do you mean that you can't choose the tools you want to use? Why do you need to be a developer for the freedom of choice??

            Well you choose - revit or archicad? You can choose something else so you can make your work impossible. As soon as you go to something specialist you are stuck in Monopoly
