#2It's a really good video like the others from the author. It's a poignant journey into UX design. And then the Jank Man is a great mascot for all the conflicting descisions we have to take for a large software to take shape.

#3I love this kind of behind-the-scenes, in-the-weeds video, and it's well done.
Unfortunately, the incident with a Muse Group director openly blackmailing an open source developer [1] [2], threatening to have him deported to China while specifically calling out his public criticism of the CCP with a disgusting "who knows how he may be received"—well, to say that this incident leaves a bitter mark in my memory would be an understatement. I am happy to be using other free software for my engraving and playback needs, and with Tenacity just recently having published its first stable release, I'm eager to drop Audacity, too.
Truth be told, I was never a heavy MuseScore user, but I have used Audacity regularly for decades. This turn saddens me, but it matters to me how those I support use their power, and threatening someone's life over an audio program is bullying more severe than that which I can condone.

#5The videos are awesome. Is there a Youtube channel that does similar great reviews of graphic software ui/ux?

Whewf, I had no idea-- thanks for putting this out there. FWIW Tanacrul doesn't seem involved, and I for one grant him the benefit of the doubt regarding the views of his employers; He wouldn't be the first person to have critisisms of "the culture at work". I would appreciate any statements he's made on the matter (or that the company's made since), as it's not cool to support this kind of culture by not speaking out, instigating/participating in change, or seeking alternative employment (each of which may or may not be possible or neccessary, depending on the current situation).
I presume that nothing has come of this for those involved (or GPL'ing the mobile app?), but didn't finish the thread or otherwise dig further.

I think you're overstating it a bit.
How about you tell the whole story?

#9We talk a lot about Blender as being the big success story of Open Source (and it is amazing indeed), but we shouldn't forget smaller projects like Musescore. It's really good software and I've used it a lot; it's as good if not better than many of the commercial alternatives.
Now if we only had a Musescore-quality Photoshop or After Effects alternative...

#10Ah yes, after giving the middle finger to the entire open source community after you bought Audacity - only after screwing over the original userbase of MuseScore.
Tantacrul is a black mark on the FOSS community. Strong words, yes.
