I’m not well versed in the theories and arguments for or against free or
open source software. However, based on my 40 years of experience as a
software developer and UI designer, I would say ALL software, free or
otherwise, is about usability and usefulness. Otherwise, there’s no
reason for that software to exist.
If we refuse to provide useful information just because it violates some
purist idea of what is or is not acceptably unencumbered, then we’re
just denying users potential helpful capabilities that may make the
difference between using org-mode or abandoning it completely in favor
of some commercial, cross-platform solution.
