General observation on closed and open source

A general observation on closed source versus open source applications.

Both have the same attitude toward functionalty, they just don’t realize it. In the case of closed source, if it doesn’t do exactly what you want it to do, you’re on your own. Find another application that does what you want it to do. With open source applications, if it doesn’t do exactly what you want it to do, you’re still on your own. Sure you have the ability to modify the code, but if you had all that time you’d have written it yourself right? You most likely won’t modify it if it’s too hard to modify and will go looking for another application that does what you want it to do.
