My point was to counter the previous poster's
argument that all Open Source software is not developed by paid professionals. Not all companies that produce or use Open Source software rely exclusively on amateur programmers. Some companies even write both proprietary and open source apps. For some companies, the software complements the services or hardware that they sell, so they open source the software. Paid developers have developed the code and maintain the open source project. If all open source apps were developed by amateurs then it's about time for me to give up programming. I've seen and used some the apps that have been developed and they're good quality products. I write custom/proprietary code, but I'm not arrogant enough to say that Open Source code is junk, nor ignorant enough to believe that it's produced completely by amateur programmers.
