I did far to many vB2 to vB3 style upgrades for far too little money.

To turn the otherside of the debate on it's head, there are plenty of people here that do a wonderfull job for free who are an expert in their field. merly because your a paying customer, paying top dollar your not always going to get a great outcome from it.

I've seen plenty of free projects taken that surpass commercial projects so there's always pros and cons to each area.

I mean. Take the company your working for. Couldn't even slice the 3.0 GDK for people wanting to make easy modifications of the vbulletin graphics. And saving becomes a time consuming task aswell as embedded blending effects from another software making re-colouring difficult for beginners. That's a prime example of poor shoddy workmanship right there.

So your not always going to get what you pay for 100% of the time. majority of the time, maybe.
