What you give up either way
- Polished cross-platform native apps and installers
- Proprietary UI/UX polish and continuous product polish
- Commercial-grade support and SLAs
- Any closed-source integrations or proprietary services the vendor may provide
- Brand trust and aggregated user-base features
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Anytype, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
