This is the fastest way to get people to say "I hate proprietary solutions but at least they work"

Then you should use proprietary solutions. Open source solutions are written by developers for themselves. They are not writing it for you. They have no reason to write them for you. You are not paying them. It is a labor of love they are doing for themselves.

Yet as a bonus they are offering it to you for free as a gift with the hope that if it doesn't work for you, you can improve it or hire someone you can.

If you only care about consuming open source but not contributing, by all means you should buy proprietary solutions.
