Open Source Vs Proprietary Softwares

Why open source softwares are becoming more popular among developers and in industries???

I was just trying to answer this question and found number of reasons behind the screen. Starting with the tough technological competition model and boundaries that exist between open source and proprietery software, I found that open source softwares provide openness of source code, these softwares are more compatible and as a result we find growing dedicated communities. Open source is creating specific and dedicated labour market. Open source softwares are providing opportunities to obscure developers to correct bugs and improve software efficiency, but less space for kernel developers. We find open source development model is superior to classical software development model as developers are innovator and user, not mere developers as in classic software development where developers are not users and so they do not know which segment to be improved first.
Proprietery softwares bugs corrections are rare; developers need to wait for improvement and release of new version, also cost is incurred in this case. Open source provides flexibility to correct bugs, release new versions with added functionalities continuously improving.
Proprietery technologies depend on R&D investment and takes into consideration all the cost involved. Open source promotes open organizational culture and developers contribute for free.

Pitfalls with open source softwares are that open source software depends on compatibility with the proprietery technologies. Linux lacks GUI and so has not been made available to open market.
