The problem with the free ones is, they don't owe anyone anything, they get
sick of complaints because of course people want perfection for free, so
they get sick of the complaints and pull the plug leaving you scrambling to
find something else and learn it. that's especially bad in a work
environment. I've seen it happen and heard of it happening, thankfully never
to me in a work environment personally though some of the fun programs I've
used it's happened to.
