This is like saying why would anyone use a Toyota RAV4 when they can get a 400+ hp LS3 crate engine from Chevy. Is it because of the quality of the dashboard plastics?

I really like this analogy. The question you were responding to has been asked - in one form or another - so many times on this thread that its clear that those developing software and business tools are completely out of touch with users and power users of those tools.

I mean, the crate engine is cheaper, lighter, far more powerful, and you can buy one labeled "turnkey"!
