There are many arguments for libretto software, but the support argument is the weakest. I'm much more confident of getting support from someone I've paid than someone I haven't. At least any support I'm entiriedcyo will. Even a contract.

The reality of most liner software is that scads if it go out of support all the time and only users that are members of the developer elite (and happen to be skilled in the relevant platform, libraries and dev tools) have even a chance of doing anything about it.

That's only true for things for which there isn't even one user who is a developer, who fixes your problem because it was also their problem.
