OMG, so many open source projects need to read this:

(hello FreeCAD ;)

Seems like we so often get projects made by people who either need to read this, or who stubbornly ignore its "But first" paragraph.

It's good to be critical about options, but ultimately people and their needs are diverse and good tools recognize that too.
