There are pros and cons to both closed source and open source. Open source is nice because the community can audit the code and see for themselves, but closed-source is nice because a company generally has the resources to maintain and build software correctly.

Both of these are hypothetical, however. We've seen tons of vulnerabilities from both. IMHO Open Source works a lot better on paper but once projects get very large auditing them is really hard...which definitely cuts down on the amount of eyes looking at them.

These two things are orthogonal, IMHO.

My post is "on paper". In reality, projects are squeezed for nickels and dimes.

My point is that while open-source should be better, right now it seems that everything is equally not good enough.
