Yes, it is very good. It's great to use perpetually half made software.
If you don’t like bugs, you shouldn’t be using software. Especially not software designed to do more than one thing. And extra especially not software designed to run on more than one system.
But maybe a Casio watch would be fine for you. Mine hasn’t had any bugs.
The point is that every single feature they try to add to it ends up as yet another buggy thing that never gets fixed. They should focus on making the core things works decently instead of adding new features. After all this time they didn’t get the sync to be as reliable as Syncthing, why would they venture into webmail’s and whatnot ?
Webmail has been a Nextcloud feature for years. They improved it. That’s literally what you just asked for. Improving the core components.
They improved it? You can’t even add a bullet list. No way to have a full screen typing experience. It’s slow like no other and basic formatting tools are already hidden. Is that what you call improvements?
I understand that everyone doesn't always have a perfect experience but I've been using the same instance of nextcloud for over 8 years I just keep upgrading and migrating. It just works. Only issues I've had is when Debian withholds updating php for too long or when they finally do all the config files for php get fucked and I have to redo them all.
Use docker
I hear ya but my instance is old (before i knew docker) and just works on the rails. I also tweak the heck out of it for performance so I deal with the annoyance once every two years. If it completely blows up I might roll it on docker.
