I would say that's no more generally true of open source or free
software than of commercial and closed-source. There are is certainly
more coal than diamonds in both groups. I personally have favorite
applications and programming languages that fall into either camp.

The app my friend is looking at is great and well worth $400 but not for
a low-traffic personal site. He's just learning to script so building
his own discussion app is way outside his realm.
