In concept, absolutely, but I tried and didn’t like.

So you don't lose anything win-win

Only the time I took to play around with FOSS options, which is fine for a hobby. There are actually really good options out there, they just don’t match my needs.

True. How much time you invest in "playing around" is your choice. I mostly treat it like a video game demo. I play for a bit and if I enjoy it I'll donate. If I see issues or it doesn't do what I want I don't donate.

Right. I’ve been known to open an issue and move on with my life. That’s not nothing, as far as contributing to FOSS.
