So you are a star programmer, and want to make heaps of money? In this case, you should be able to make a program so feature-rich, powerfull, stable and intuitive that people will prefer it to free alternatives. So much for the theory. In the real world, it's often the other way round: Good programmers are unsatisfied with what they make in their paid jobs, so they write open source software in their free time just to prove their own level of excelence; something they for some reason can't in their paid jobs.
