Default Re: Software Tools for technical skills: Cost, Quality, Complexity

A big expense for mass produced software is user support. Much of this is explaining to users that the reason the program isn't working is they are doing it wrong. A program written for your own use doesn't have that. You can also save on interface design since you know what all the things are for and what range of input they need.
