Minecraft servers are pretty good as far as open source software goes, and non computer nerds play Minecraft.
But these guys aren't saying "play Minecraft", they're saying "Minecraft is EBIL! (probably because M$!!!) play MineTest instead!" and MineTest is shit.
MineTest is what you get when someone says "this piece of shit is closed source. let's fix it completely by making it open source and not changing anything else about it."

@ben_lubar If that's true than actual Minecraft is WAY worse than I expected.

Here's a fact that should give you an idea of how many WTFs are in it:
- The developers of Minecraft chose to write it in Java.

@ben_lubar Well yeah but... download MineTest and see what I mean.

Developer. Singular. And he also never intended for it to be remotely popular.

like many fetishes, it is actually supposed to be painful/smelly/disgusting.
I have a vagina fetish. Is it really painful/smelly/disgusting? Inexperienced minds need to know!

Not all open source software is clunky/badly designed/painful to use anyway
@admiral_p said in De-Google-ify The Internet I guess somehow?:
Open source (or free software even more so) is a computer nerd ideal/fetish (depending on how you look at it; sometimes it's both). Non-computer nerds do not buy into a nerd ideal/fetish
What the fuck?!?

@Tsaukpaetra from the man himself:
In his view, what's important is not quality of software, but freedom. I neither agree nor disagree with him, but it's a fact that a lot of free software (since he's nitpicking, which shan't we?) is not made with user experience in mind, but only aims at replicating the basic functionality, as it caters for an audience who will go out of their way to use free software instead of proprietary, and often user experience takes a back seat (as the primary objective is first and foremost replication of functionality).

Our approach is simple and consists in determining the self-imposed conditions that may justify such trust. We aim to offer alternatives that respect people and diversity while making it impossible to reproduce such monopolies.
I don't get it. You're going to gain our trust by having a data privacy agreement like Google has. Then you're going to prevent a monopoly by centralizing alternatives?
