At the office and in my home, I only use OpenSource software. I work in a open-source basis, so I'm doing what I teach others to do.

I think overall there is a massive open source community that offers everything you like in your pc for every purpose...but some commercial pachages offers you the conveniency of what-you-pay-is-what-you-get rule!Tou have to be up to date to know the real truth.

It all depends on what fits the job(s) at hand. Why pay for a program to complete one task that you can do with a free program? Of course, the majority of commercial software comes with pretty interfaces but, it's what's behind all the eye-candy that matters. BTW, proprietary software isn't the same as commercial software, there are free applications that have proprietary code that's just not shared...
