    The answer to that question is that they’re either lazy, ignorant or both. :D

    In all seriousness. I can imagine that a lot of developers who work on commercial products are given about 20% of the time and resources needed to make a good product. I don’t blame them for doing what it takes to not get fired.

    That’s why libre source software is so important!

      Yeah turns out that RAM is cheap and dev time is expensive. Compared to what devs charge their employers in western countries, RAM is STILL cheap.

      With libre software, your employer isn’t bleeding money for every day spent on optimization.
