Why should open source software demand that a user "read manuals completely" and yet other software doesn't require that? Are the people who program open source software that talentless that they don't even know how a user of their own software uses it? That's a FAILURE of the developer. Time is money, and if it takes for me to purchase a piece of commercial software to get the kind of talent to write software which makes me a more efficient worker, then hell yeah most people will be willing to do just that. But then let's please stop pretending that Linux and most open software is a viable alternative. It's not. It's mostly just a "tech demo". The arrogance of the Linux community is pretty hilarious.
