The thing with open source is that when it breaks, you have no one to yell at. We've been using R/Python for sometime now and have not had any problems there at all, but it is probably their biggest concern. And I'm sure this very subject has come up so often you should be able to find some very convincing arguments around it.

I think that if our stuff is really that good, then we don't really need to worry about competition from the tech angle. Especially since we are dominating an obscure niche at the moment.
