No.  Not really.

Microslop is very popular in the corporate world with the total
ignoramuses therein.  Microslop has $billions to develop an idiot-proof
GUI and FOSS just can't compete with those $billions.

Yet in spite of the comparative "poverty" of FOSS developers, they
have managed to create extremely powerful software, but such software
requires above-average skills to utilize properly.

It is the same with Apphole, where $billions are spent to develop
idiot-proof GUIs for sound and video production.  Again, FOSS
developers cannot compete with those $billions but, again, they
have managed to create extremely powerful software, but yet again
such software requires above-average skills to utilize properly.

It is the billion-dollar GUIs alone that separates commercial software
from FOSS.

In knowledgeable hands (like mine), however, FOSS is equal if not
outright superior to any commercial offering.

Example:

I have done contract work for professional photography studios
using only GNU/Linux tools and the results were far better than
could ever be accomplished with that junk Photoshop.
