I'm sorry but none of the open source projects I've looked at impressed me with confidence in the programmers supposedly superior coding abilities.
Who claimed that? I thought the claim was that there were less bugs because more people could see the code.
Most programmers aren't very good.
That's very true, and just as true for closed source projects as open ones.
My time is too valuable to spend fixing mostly amateurish open source code I came across.
At least you could fix it. With closed source that isn't even an option. How much closed source have you seen to make a comparison?
It's generally: horribly written, extremely buggy, and inefficient.
And you think closed source is magically better somehow? LOL
