Are you saying this is a difference between open-source and
commercial software? That sure isn't my experience. (Rev provides an
excellent example of non-open-source software that, for me at least,
seems to require a lot of cobbling-together to make something finally
usable.) Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point.
