This ‘everyone is using it so I need to also’ logic is funny to me, given the idea of the F in FOSS is to use network effects to spread the idea of software freedom. Using and thus endorsing a proprietary platform with ever increasing integration into the software lifecycle seems to do the exact opposite of that.

Depends on what you mean by quality. The best complete package probably wins, although that's not the same for everybody.
That isn't the only network you have to model.
