Paid software can be good, the problem is that the incentives aren't for it to continue being good and improving over a long period of time. The paid products that are able to maintain quality and vision are the exception.

And free software is different somehow?
People's interests are fleeting.
Someone may be dedicated to doing something right for years, and then have kids...
It's different because if free software "dies" there are no victims, if there's community interest in the project you just fork it.
And having kids is of a completely different nature than having to appease investors quarterly.
