You get what you pay for; simple as that. (Score 1)

Subject really says it all. All this open source stuff is for the birds, though I'll admit to raiding a few open source projects for ideas. But damned if I'll use there code. Most of it is C or heavily abused and obfuscated C++. If you want something that's fast and works great, no matter what OS; then you're going to have to pay for it. There's a whole different paradigm when you're writing something to earn a living and writing something for free. You just don't have the same accountability... period.
