Yeah, this entire saga is really unfortunate. The narrative is really enticing (AI is obsoleting Adobe/Microsoft/other corporate software behemoths!) when the reality is it's a vibe-coded slopware that barely functions, according to anyone who has actually tried it, and there are other FOSS alternatives which are much more stable, mature, and deserve people's attention. I wonder how many people shouting "Claude vibed a Photoshop clone, Adobe is done!!" were even aware Krita or GIMP existed.

im willing to bet its easier to generate a new office than it is to fix libreoffice

It is not sexy enough.

It has atrocious UX. Crazy bloat from promising to support every one-off file format under the sun for the last 25 years.

Trying to get a PR commit committed is like dealing with an entire army of bureaucrats.

So I get it would be great (in theory) if people wanted to support this, but at the same time it’s too far behind —- and the team is too entrenched in bad UX decisions, ackward support mandates for obscure systems that in reality nobody ever really used.

How is AI currently not decentralized?
