There's a third category: "enterprise" software, where the people doing the purchasing are completely disconnected from the people using it and the developers. This results in appalling UI disasters like Lotus Notes.

There used to be meme among my friends that we’d express how much a piece of enterprise software sucked by how expensive we thought it cost. For example, “Wow, this sucks. This must cost $500k a year.”

It was scary how close we got to some published prices.
