There's a difference between writing scripts to expedite system tasks at work (or making web pages interactive, etc) and writing commercial grade software. A BIG difference, like that between shooting and editing a video of your kids and working on a Hollywood motion picture. It seems that a lot of people that claim that software (and music and films) should be free have never made more than the equivalent of home movies.
