List your software package!

Because paid software always has a better UI and/or functionality in my experience

Wow, that's almost as bad as "You get what you pay for." Neither have any real truth to them except for when someone is trying to sell you something.

All generalizations are false, including this one.

You're right, it may work and do the job, but with Paid you usually get quicker support and better features (sometimes)

Example, FlashFXP pwns FileZilla in terms of ease of use, connection stability, and features when trying to access your FTP server

Another example, Ashampoo Burning Studio 11 beats everything i've seen when it comes to GUI and ease of burning any CD/DVD/BlueRay disc you want

Another Example, nothing compares to Kaspersky Internet Security or Eset Smart Security when it comes to Antivirus suites, yes MSE and Avira are there, but they have some false positives, do not update as frequently as the paid ones do, Comodo Internet Security FREE is a good alternative but it is a resource hog, trying running a scan, your computer would be useless in terms of speed hit you get

Key word: sometimes.

Sometimes you do. And sometimes you don't.

Personally, I'd rather use foss because the differences in performance are negligible. Now if it has a feature that I absolutely need, I might pay for it. But it's better to try and find a workaround because it's free. Unless you are on the job and need it done fast.

I guess there's pros and cons for each.

You have a point. I will stop looking for paid software now as it makes sense, if I can find a good free alternative Ill use it.

Thanks for changing my point of view man

No problem. You'll get alot of mileage out of foss, trust me
