It reminds me of this story of a company that paid for WinRAR as opposed to using peazip which is FOSS... Their opinion is that paid software is better and more secure...

I can see that argument for UX/UI since paid software is often a fancy front end on FOSS but it still pisses me off. So much for capitalism being efficient lol...
