I have spent more than 14 years in open source world. Organisations choose to go with proprietary stack from Microsoft, IBM, Oracle or the open source / LAMP stack. Anyone loving the craft of creative output loves toying with the latter, as you have so much more control.
In 2013 on the one hand you have Meteor, Nodejs, Vert.x, jQuery, DOJO and on the other hand drag and drop frameworks with less need for coding. If we are to become a mature and scale to stars, we need to write less brittle code. For simple business applications the challenge of choice is real. More money spent on licensing proprietary products or more money spent on staff.
CIOs tend to get influenced by Gartner Magic Quadrants and choices have long lasting impact. I am playing with the IBM system including heavy weight products such as MQ Series, Websphere Message Broker, IBM Datapower Appliance, and soon BPM, ODM and WAS. The products themselves are tightly integrated and it will be hard for any organisation to move away from IBM products once locked in. NZ Police Department is going to spend over 1.2 billion NZD to get rid of IBM products which may have costed them 100 million $ to get in. Surely this cost was no accounted in project plans :-)
I am not a purist, nor is it my highest calling to take up the battle of open source vs proprietary and prove lower TCO either way, I intend to make the best of what is given with best design patterns for a large organization and fill in my coffers in the process ! Long live the complexity in design and divorce of senior management with fundamental engineering principles !

It’s alluringly worth for me. As I would see it, if all web proprietors and bloggers made puzzling substance as you did, the net will be in a general sense more beneficial than at whatever point in late memory. Have a glance on Real Estate Equity Fund
