Slightly depressing when it's laid out like this... still there is some truth to it. Maybe it's time to rethink a few things.

More elements on why we should all be concerned about Visual Studio Code and the state of development tools overall. It's clearly moving more and more proprietary. Visual Studio Code's ecosystem is a very well designed trap. I see it more and more around me (even tried it for a little while to see what it was all about). What can I say... Go Kate Go! And also we clearly need many more LSP servers.

A good reminder for some of the loudly annoying Free Software users out there.

Indeed, there's more funding available. It's becoming a maze though and PR shouldn't be underestimated.

Let's hope we'll indeed see more indie game creators moving to Godot, it's a neat engine.

This is definitely well put, users shouldn't feel entitled. Maintainers do what they can (even if there's a company backing up your favorite FOSS project) and if you use the software for free with no support contract... things will be done when they're done.

Now that's an interesting idea to give back money to maintainers... can be sustainable only if enough company do this on a regular basis though.

Good reminder on why you don't want to depend on proprietary systems to support FOSS projects.
