Yep. I don't mind closed source software. But closed protocols, API, file format... well, closed interactions, are a huge pain for me.

I know that people don't care. But in the end, it's still bad for them, because hell no, companies do not want you to interact with competitors products (and yet even the "masses" would like to).
