What I meant is that there is a trade-off and the choice is highly subjective. Opensource is not always better. Having lots of entities involved lessens the trustworthiness of the program. Being open source enhances it because of community scrutiny. The trustworthiness of a software is function of the trustworthiness of every entity involved in the making of said software or at least in the making of the most vulnerable ones. Surely the reviewers pull the trustworthiness up, but having many entities, some unknown to you, involved can dissolve their effects. Being fruit of bad reviewers or bad programmers, some mistake or malicious code may pass by unnoticed. Which one would you trust more: 1. Open Source software writen by a single trustworthy person and reviewed by many 2. Open Source software writen by many people and reviewed by many
