I agree. I don't use it for these reasons. But technologically speaking, it's an open source alternative.

I hate to break it to you, but even as an open source advocate, open source alone, doesn't mean it's better automatically; Atleast not for the uses you (the consumer) need to fulfill. Though the argument about privacy holds very much up here, and it's simply better in all aspects in regards to that.

Also many open source programs and apps, and everything in between, that I've come across, lacks basic features, which, atleast for my sake, turns my off almost instantly.
