> there is always a better closed service you have to pay for

Always? I think that only holds for a certain amount of time (different for each sector) after which the open stuff is better.

I thought it was only true for dev tools, but I had to rethink it when I met a guy (not especially technical) who runs open source firmware on his insulin pump because the closed source stuff doesn't gives him as much control.
