Eh. One thing proprietary software has going for it is clear design goals and the leadership to create a cohesive UX. Open source projects tend to be a grab bag of tools that work well for developers.

Not saying I don't love FOSS, but there's definitely stuff that proprietary software does better in a practical sense, whatever else your opinion of it.

There's a very good reasons why people and organisations will pay for proprietary software when there is a free alternative available. I've used FOSS word processors before, for example, and they're okay, but nothing like what Microsoft Office can do. Same with video editing.

And there are also very good reasons why people and organisations are stopping relying on proprietary software and switching to open alternatives that won't lock them up.

Yup... risk transfer

Pay somebody else to take responsibility for pieces of your business process, then blame them when something goes wrong - that's why we have a contract.
