Truth is..... Many FOSS lacks significant polish and features as... Well it's free. I don't mind paying for a quality product
Yeah FOSS is rarely better than the commercial equivalent. Almost universally they're terrible in a hundred minor ways that makes them annoying as hell to use. The best FOSS products come from... Company sponsorship.
Depends. If the FOSS products has company backing, sure, but devs working in their free time are incapable of competing against a team of devs working 40 hours a week.
