So money makes a difference in how well you code or support your product? I have to disagree as they are many well-coded and well-supported free hacks right here on the org.
Not in every case, but most certainly in MANY hence the reason I used the word.
I'm sure Boofo that you only take your car to mechanics that don't charge anything and work sporadically throughout the month. I'm sure when it comes time to style your coiffure that you ask around your neighborhood to find someone that likes to cut and style hair as a hobby on a Tuesday evening as long as they haven't seen that nights rerun of Nash Bridges.
Why do you seem to think that professional coders do shoddy work and give no support? People who get paid to do a job generally do it better otherwise they wouldn't get paid for the job. Sure its not a universal rule - but if I wanted a plumber, I would pay a professional rather than a that guys down the street that put in a toilet once and is willing to help me for free. Buying professional doesn't mean that I cant get stung - but in my experience I am usually far more satisfied with the job done.
Lets face it - if a script sucks, isn't supported, etc... IT WONT SELL. Thats one of the reasons why I am behind a directory of commercial scripts (that link off site) but one where people could rate (yes, that can be complex, but valuable).
Anyway - for Petes sake people, if you dont want it - you dont have to use the freaking thing!
And yes, I fully agree that there are a lot of great FOC hacks that are also well supported here, however I would also add that I think they are a huge amount that are not.
