The goal of this article is to provide some perspective on reasons why one might choose one over the other.

Unfortunately, it doen't really do anything of the sort. The article only serves to describe the two options - features, history, tools needed to use then - without ever giving any real reasons or situations where you might want to use one over the other. Their only real opinion on comparing the two is the "cost of the initial investment" or "comfort with using Open Source software".

Is anyone else out there as tired of these articles as I am?
