Hello Frank,
That's not a very acedemic argument for what type of software to use.
I'm sure the full version will "work fine", but it is most certainly not
optimial for my particular application. Just because you *can* do
something doesn't mean that you *should*.

I'll let you make your own decisions about what you should do in your
projects and I'll likewise make my own. What was it "meant to be"
anyway? And what does that even mean?
