Oh, there are lots of great FOSS counterexamples - the Linux kernel, Postgres, and SQLite are three easy ones. I'm not claiming that good engineering doesn't exist or that there aren't amazing FOSS tools, I just take issue with that ideas that either (a) all FOSS tools are great or (b) the FOSS model is somehow able to produce quality tools in a way that the proprietary model is not (or substitute "bazaar" and "cathedral" models if you wish). The vast majority of software sucks, and I'm not sure that FOSS software even sucks less on average.
