    There’s just so much more opportunity for feedback, use case stories, and a variety of perspectives in open source development.

    Good enterprise development does all those things as well, but there is always a bigger barrier to the user when you have to design behind a curtain.

      good enterprise development

      That is a contradiction in terminus, those two words don’t go together.

      Enterprise development is always managed by middle managers who have no idea what they’re doing yet think they’re god. I’ve seen many enterprise level products, I’ve yet to see a good one.

      Oohhh, IBM websphere comes to mind now, and I committed a little in my mouth. Enormous and gruelingly expensive product that is an unmanageable resource hog while similar open source product fly circles around it. I managed that back in the day for one of the top courier logistics and packages companies in the world. Starting it up took over an hour, not shitting you, when it crashed, there were absolutely useless multi gig dump files and then the restart that would take hours yet again. If you saw what it could do it was just… Cute.

      I will never again in my life use an enterprise level product
