I sincerely hope we don't start using the word "professional" to denote "careful" or "good quality".
No, by "professional" I mean "of a profession," which is a service that is provided by experts to laymen, and therefore demands adherence to certain standards since the clients are not able to judge the product for themselves, but in general must trust the vendor. The care and good quality proceed from the commitment of the professional.
Most professional work is crap, and that's why we have open source.
Open source is not a substitute for professionalism.
