Now they want their thousands of dollars invested back, and they want you use YOU to get it back, plus a hefty profit.
All the while the open source people were working on the same things, for free, and have surpassed the pay for clients now. Where was all the support for them?
Because the pay for clients invested $$, they were ahead for a while and everyone supported them, but if the greedy *******s would have picked some other place to make their fortunes, the open source clients would have gotten more support and would be way further along.
You also missed out on some really cool features because the commercial interests won't program in things that don't jive with their ad revenue stream.

You are right though, don't bash them, just BLOCK them.
