Re: "The problem isn't lack of software alternatives, the problem is lack of will to change"

FOSS is not some magic cure all.

There is no decent FOSS to replace the professional commercial software I buy, and why is that?

Maybe because the professional commerical software is able to pay developers, and produce 100% focused on the project work, as opposed to people who do it when they have time and possibly aren't really invested in the outcome.

The real problem with FOSS is management by community. The Linux kernel works because of Linus, once he's gone and it descends into managment by the community, we'll see how quickly wars and arguments tear the thing apart.
