Seriously man. Why use a product that has part time programmers developing it?
How can it compare to a paid quality software? Money yea sure. But $200 for me is less than a days work so its not a big deal.
Paid software has paid developers thus security and other patches are addressed promptly.
Thats what i pay for and thats what i get.
Part time, but MORE developers because of the fact that you don't need to buy it to start development on it. So it balances out, if you look at the bigger picture here. It's like trying to compare Windows to Linux. How can you determine which is better? Microsoft Windows is paid for, Linux is free, but there's much more development on Linux, because it's open source, and it's free, so everyone gets a chance to help out.
What you pay for is what you get, but that doesn't work for everything. Take Notepad++ for example, and I still find it better than numerous paid notepads out there, yet it's still free.
"paid quality software" - That's a falsified perception in my opinion. Paid does not mean better all the time, and it doesn't mean quality all the time either. Vbulletin is good, but for the price of MyBB, that makes things fairly even.
