>>Today, working with thousands of small shops ranging from 1-20 users average in many different states, I couldn't "sell" SQL Server, Oracle, or even Progress to the majority of them if I tried.<<
You know this, I know this and people in this forum who do and don't have experience with C/S as well as F/S know this.
Yet, again and again the "truth" is inflicted on us as if your experience and the experience of thousands like you, is irrelevant.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
