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

    I was gonna say I can’t believe anyone would say that FOSS software is user friendly vs proprietary stuff. Maybe if you’re only ever used to obtuse FOSS software anything that’s less confusing?

      Possible. For me, the things I see from windows (disclaimer: I haven’t used any dos since years, but I’ve occasionally seen video material (including, for example, menus with ads, and horribly confusing settings)) are obtuse, and FOSS stuff is normal. But I may be biased in the a different direction than you.
