Why continue to develop proprietary software for problems that have been solved over and over in open source (code editing, code compilers, browsers, email clients, word processing, the list is endless)? People--and businesses--are not going to continue being okay with shelling out hundreds/thousands of dollars for something they can get for free. It may be profitable now, but it won't be in the future.
