If I can make it, I hate to pay for it.

If I can learn a skill, that's means there's more money 
for people with more skill than I.  I much prefer 
spending money for skilled work.

The commercial design is overbuilt to accomodate a 
user's potential abuse.  You pay for the idiot factor.

I may be wrong here, but I believe that a good design 
saves money.  Unfortunately, I'm still suffering the 
humiliation of a finite income.
