Open-source software in a nutshell:

"This is great! But it kicks me in the groin every time I use it. I really, really don't want to be kicked in the groin by it all the time."

Responses:

"There is a workaround, but it punches you in the neck instead of the groin, then throws sand in your eye."

"Have you learned to like being kicked in the groin?"

"The developers specifically made it so it would kick you in the groin each time. This is because it is more powerful this way."

"There was a GSoC project to make it not kick you in the groin, but it stalled out because the developer lost interest after the project ended and it was never merged."

"Use this weird fork, but it punches you in the nose instead. And it crashes each time you use it."

"Why wouldn't you wanna be kicked in the groin?"

"It's free, what do you expect?"

"Well, [closed-source competitor] kicks you in the ass instead!"

"Patches to stop the groin kicking welcome."

If it's Firefox:

"We heard you hate the groin-kicking feature. That's why in the next version, we are making it so it kicks you in the ass instead, with code imported from Chrome. Also, you can *technically* opt-out of the groin kicking, the face-slapping, the feature that hits you with a club we just added, unfortunately you can't opt out of the ass-kicking feature..."
