i totally agree the Open-source have improvements to them compared to Proprietary Software..for example when i started learning Web Design i bought Dreamweaver 8 and started learning to build websites till i discovered i was more of a dreamweaver user than an HTML.then i decided to take up PHP and dreamweaver was not just it for me.till i came across Aptana Studio from nokia forum and till now i support open-source not because its free because they tend to be more flexible than other software and quick to fixes…nice article

I am a huge proponent of open source software. You have to be a little picky about which technology you latch onto though. You want to make sure you are using one that is well supported and has some high level contributors. That way you are more likely to get updates for it over time as things evolve. Without that support, you can end up depending on a script that breaks at some point without there being anyone around who can actually fix it properly.
