Understood. And then there are those (like myself) who look at the pace and longevity of open source projects and are a) happy it is not open source (although it extensively uses open source projects -- and has contributed many fixes to those projects because what was in there was broken) and b) is backed by a company that has done the same thing (providing a full, data-oriented, development platform) for over 25 years (this August).
