Who knows. Proprietary under free OS might be better indeed than under
proprietary OS. I am just wondering lately whether open source model of
development and/or environment of free and voluntary developers is at all
capable of delivering robust, stable and professional level apps. I am not
saying
that it is not possible in question, but I am wondering whether it is
possible on
a regular basis, since such apps are needed in many fields. And many things
on
GNU/Linux are either difficult or impossible to do today.
