Non-nerd software

I do think the vast majority of the free software people use are written by professionals, who are paid to do so. Some of this software is directed towards corporate non-technical end-users.

It is true that lots of people write free software intended for home use, but they are rarely pied to do so. Thus, they write for their peers, not for the non-technical end user.
