Should we condone open-source utilities before proprietary ones?

I think we should condone open-source utilities. Like I told a friend once friends don't let friends use proprietary tools.

I was reading through one of the guides and it recommended Sublime Text and I thought to myself not only is there an open-source alternative but there are better open-source alternatives. I can understand recommending a proprietary tool if there is no open-source alternative.

I also think we should encourage open source tools, there's a culture difference between people that use proprietary tools vs foss ones, and being able to influence that, we should take the opportunity to lead them towards the right direction.

I think using proprietary tools is fine, but I do agree that we should promote open-source alternatives, especially if they're better. The Sublime - Text was something I put down in my early days of web dev, and I just never got around to updating it. I agree with you both! Lets do it !

@bryangarza I agree with that statement

@mrcoven94 like I said I see use cases where it's fine.
