While I appreciate the intent of the post, please keep in mind that we shouldn't be advertising software products on our forums.
As a computer professional, I'll weigh in on the general axiom that "you get what you pay for". While the products listed are indeed capable, the fact that you need 4-5 programs to do what one "pay for it" suite can do better should be telling. By using all these free programs, your PC will tie up processor power and system resources, and updates to one are not guaranteed to play nice with others on the list.
For that reason, I'm a proponent of buying an all-in-one package from a major vendor. There's a fee involved, often an annual license purchase, but you get superior coverage for less system resources.
