Ans - The programs tend to be more user-friendly and possess better graphical user interfaces.
Explanation- Open source software are software in which the source code is released by the developer and it can be distributed to anyone for any purpose and is a example of open collaboration. Usually there is no copyright law to worry the program belongs to entire user community but sometimes the the developer puts little restriction such as to preserve the name of the developer and also the copyright statement in the code.
But it need not to be more user friendly and also so it doesn't means it possesses better graphical user interface. Many times paid softwares also give better graphical user interface and tend to be more user friendly. So this point cannot be benefit of open source software.
