We needed to decide which JS library to integrate in a project. I investigated two libs both os and commercial and made a nice table to compare the pros and cons side by side. Important to note that both fullfilled nearly all of my technical requests and there are zero other comparable projects or products.

Now our Boss needed to make the final decision. He shortly looked at the Excel File and said:

I don't like opensource software because they will abandon the project if they earn no money. Also I don't like the other one. It's too expensive and it's developed by only a small company! I'll let you know which risk i'll take!

You guessed it: Still no decision after a few weeks. I'd say he will go for the os lib...

Idiot

    At least with opensource you can maintain it yourself if it's valuable for your company and gets abandoned. But I like that he didn't want ro seem cheap from the beginning.

    @jsframework9000 he will go "cheap" and he will make me responsible for his decision. Same ol' story ;)
