Good SaaS products are like UNIX tools

  Unfortunately for them, good UNIX tools are nothing like SaaS products.

    Do you mind elaborating on that a bit more? I'm assuming it's about sustainability for the maintainers of said UNIX tools, which I'd agree with. I think the "unfortunately" part is throwing me off lol.

      The best UNIX tools are free, SaaS are not. I'm comfortable relying on GNU coreutils because there is no price involved, and no question as to whether or not my data is being retained by a third-party.
