  • Bud if its not feasible for you don’t do it then.

    As I stated in my original comment, some people use readymade suites and pay for support, that is their perogative.

    I find I do Better quality work when I build my own toolkit, and tie the tools together my way.

    To borrow an example from my father in reference to working on cars:

    Sure you can buy a mechanic’s toolbox that will have everything you need but those are cheap, mass produced tools desogned to fit the needs of the everyman. If you buy an empty toolbox instead you can fill it with the tools you use, then you can have higher quality tools for the things you actually do with them and not waste space on tools you don’t ever touch.

    I’ve got friends who tell me they won’t switch to Linux because they want their anti-cheat games. I usually tell them if they took the time to learn their system they’d understand why they don’t want anto-cheat games.

    In the last 20 years, I have not found a single piece of software (games excluded, i pay for art when payment is asked) that I, a regular person on the internet, have not been able to source a free open source alternative that while potentially equipped with a steep learning curve is often as good as if not Better than many corporate solutions once learned.

    People can pay for pretty, super convenient UIs and proprietary solutions with support contracts if they want to, thats their perogative. I prefer to learn the software myself and if I hate the UI that much that I’d be willing to pay, its worth either just sitting down and making my own with pyside (its quick and easy, learning curve excluded) or paying a freelance dev to make one bespoke.
