This is one of the strenghts of free software. Another is that over time it becomes tayored to actual users and actual potential users as opposed to those in some salesman's head. If lily had been a commercial product it might well have died years ago. It would be nice to have commercial backing but wheter or not this happens my guess is that lily will become the defacto standard for computer typesetting of music over the next 10 years or so.
