Who knows. Proprietary under free OS might be better indeed than under
proprietary OS. I am just wondering lately whether open source model of
development and/or environment of free and voluntary developers is at all
capable of delivering robust, stable and professional level apps. I am not
saying
that it is not possible in question, but I am wondering whether it is
possible on
a regular basis, since such apps are needed in many fields. And many things
on
GNU/Linux are either difficult or impossible to do today.

"Different funding strategies" is
vague. I think that Linux would have
lots
and
lots of cool stable apps if those "funding strategies" were obvious. But
they
are not.
They aren't indeed. Linux kernel is doing well with really big
companies supporting it. Multimedia applications still did not find
the best way, but they will. Donations from professionals and
universities doing research between arts and computer science would be
two options. All I said was to keep closed software away from
gnu/linux. (But I think proprietary under free OS is better then
proprietary software under proprietary OS, I don't know).
