the problem here is you guys have a 100%-or-nothing litmus test. if you want software that never changes then expend the effort to learn the libre tool and accept the limitations, rather than the proprietary tool that needs to change every year so a company can sell it again. if you refuse to learn anything and just want instant gratification, that's fine but then you don't get sympathy when the company changes the software or jacks the price up. it isn't just foss people with a bad attitude. for 24 years i hear people complaining about microsoft windows changing everything around. i've been using the same linux desktop since 1999 because i took a day to customize blackbox/openbox to exactly what i like.
