Sorry G, I'm not really in the mood. People who think that software sold for money "must inherently have something going for it" that free software doesn't are barking up the wrong tree and it's a waste of time arguing with people who aren't willing to question that assumption.
They're also by and far
1) people who've never written any software and don't know anything about the process (90%), or
2) people who live in a Microsoft (or why not Apple) bubble and their idea of computing is whatever that company sells, nothing else matters. (10%)
People in the software business know that the best code gets written either a) regardless of money or b) in spite of money. Because the best stuff is rarely paying-the-bills code that has an immediate and obvious monetary value.
Some people just get it, like Rob. They're much more fun.
