>Probably would be wiser to learn an Open Source tool. Like I said, it's just a matter of time before all software development is Open Source. It just makes too much sense.

To you perhaps.

I've found that most every time I've tried to work with large open source applications I run into immediate and absolutely glaring difficulties due to no/bad/wrong language/wtf support, gaping holes in functionality, and no standards whatsoever.

Linux. That ends open source for me.

I prefer a product that is supported.
