For business I use the best tool I can find for the job, whether it's
a ladder to put up holiday decorations or a piece of software. I'd no
more expect that all the best software is free than I'd expect to walk
into a store and get a ladder for free that's better than the one I
paid $200 for.

If there's freeware that does the job better than $ware I'll use it,
but I haven't found that to be true in very many cases.
