It is just the fact that proprietary only companies have no opensource related need for man*hours and they compete in the same market place.
not really. open source gives also advantages: the competitors have much more bugs than opensource aps - and I don't speak only of Msoft, ost proprietary apps I have to use are horribly buggy, even if expensives.
Having advantage in code quality doesn't help without letting people know about that, which is marketing effort that needs budget. While volunteer man*hours count, it is not enough. There are free resources, though, but they have to be identified. For instance libraries and non-for-profit organizations here in US, might be good way to go, but I'm not teacher and having free "Introduction in openSUSE" can turn just opposite from what I want.
but it's very difficult to balance between debugging time and coding time
and this is mostly users fault: users asks for new features, not debugged apps, id not windows should have died long ago
Users are there to ask. If nobody asks, no one will know that somebody needs feature, and that is the reason that we have fantastic development platform, and not so smooth part for end users. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
