From my perspective, support offered is thru a web forum is akin to
saying "we don't care about helping you.  Go buy/use the competitors
products."

I have major issues with a FLOSS email client. The only support offered
for it is on a web forum. I had to ask the same question four times,
before I got a response that was usable. I've never seen that type of
behavioral response on a mailing list. [Even Microsoft's stupid query
based bot provided more accurate help with Outlook, than the web forum
for that FLOSS email client provided.]
