Two:

  1) You have free access to the sources of every library and utility,
     and so can find out anything you need about their operation, and
     fix many bugs without relying on a vendor's good will.  You can
     also freely discuss what you find in the sources with people who
     wrote that or understand what it does, and why.

  2) You have support in this forum whose level is a pipe dream of any
     user of proprietary products.
