Why are developers still using proprietary third-party libraries? [closed]

题

As the open source world is fairly advanced now and you can find an open source implementation of pretty much everything, why are people/developers still using the obscure/proprietary libraries? In what case these are absolutely needed?

有帮助吗？

解决方案

Three obvious reasons:

  1. There's no open source equivalent,
  2. The company wants paid-for support that they can rely on.
  3. They are a bit behind the times and do not yet trust open source libraries.
