Exactly. The reason the paid apps succeed is because people pay for them. Weekend developers of free apps generally can't keep up with paid apps. I recently tried to find an open-source alternative to quicken... epic fail. Oh sure, such-and-such an app may contain all the same functionality on paper, but usability, polish, and design are usually absent from FOSS. Please note, I said usually. So the main point of the OP that I want to reiterate, "good, foss apps." (emphasis mine).
