I&#x27;m trying to say that this truism of &quot;expensive = worse&quot; is wrong in very many cases. I assert that except software that&#x27;s a) trivial, or b) &quot;by developers for developers&quot;, expensive software is usually better.<p>Microsoft Office is a good example of software that a) has a very broad audience, b) pretty much every computer user has seen, and c) somehow nobody can make a decent free replacement of.
