Sorry to be that guy but a lot of software is just shit that doesn't work. Doesn't matter what your favorite one is I can probably find a problem with it.It just so happens that Free and Open Source software is usually less shit than Proprietary.Same thing goes with hardware.

@splitshockvirus Well yes - this tends to be the case for *anything* made by humans.
