@colinsmatt11 >Professional, Industry Standard and alikes are just euphemism for software recommendation.
Even then, such terms seem to be only used on software that does the opposite of what the words mean.

There's nothing less professional than software refusing to operate, since the "subscription account" login timed out or you didn't pay the monthly rent on time.

Even if you always make sure to pay the ever increasing rent, sometimes the "subscription" checking server goes down and then you can't use the software.

It seems that people have become so used to unprofessionalism and those striving to be unprofessional than ever before, that they think a few convenient features makes some software "professional".


Also, software that is being wielded as a yoke of unjust power by a single proprietary software company will never be "industry standard", as there is no industry when one business has a complete monopoly and stranglehold on the "industry".


GNU runs a huge part of what is really industrially crucial as it is very professional in respecting the users freedom.
