Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they’re all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?
Lots of proprietary apps are really about backend services. E.g. Uber sends you someone driving a car. Reimplementing the client app isn’t of much help with that.
I don’t Uber but I do still sometimes use Google maps. Organic Maps suffices only some of the time.
