It seems a lot of lay people and even professional engineers still think free plugins can never match commercial ones in terms of quality. In view of this, do you shy when pulling up free plugins in front of clients??

Oh man, span is a beast. I sometimes wonder why they gave it away free of charge. So what gives you the confidence to show free plugins infront of clients?

If they were, would you pull up a free plugin in front of them in view of the stigma around using free plugins

I wasn't aware there was a stigma. I guess I don't hang around with narrow minded people.

so are we supposed to assume that these clients have memorised the pricetags of all the available plugins?

If these clients knew about or knew about how to use these plugins, would they still come visit?
