Even if it's not better, you can fix it, if it's actual free software and not "freeware." Or fork it and make a version that is better. And if the creator abandons it, it's easy for anyone to pick it back up again. For me, dead ends and a lack of user extensibility are as big a problem as the cost when it comes to commercial software.
