Take a look at redhat.....is linex free? Yes, it is. Can you get the exact same operating system somewhere else for free? Yes you can. Can you get their support, and all of the other things elsewhere for free? No you can't. You will have community support, certainly, but a hold-you-hand type of support? No.
If a developer puts their spare time, long hours, years of coding experience into a project only to be met with comments such as yours, it's no small wonder that a lot of homebrew developers have abandoned the fight because of scriptkiddie ungrateful "noobs" such as yourself who don't appreciate anything that's done. When was the last time you thanked a developer for one single piece of homebrew you're running right now, vs using it, and complaining when it doesn't work?
Take a look at bottle water. Can you get water elsewhere? Free? Usually.
Why do you buy the bottle water? Because it offers you something the other doesn't, perhaps taste, perhaps the lack of dysentery, perhaps something else. You BUY something you can get for free because the bought version has something superior(usually).
If you don't want to buy it, that's fine, but don't spout stuff like this, or one day you may just find the homebrew scene dries up, and the only new programs coming out are the ones you write with your own fingers.
