I think longevity is really an issue, both for custom and out-of-the-box. So many people come and go, it's hard to really know who you can "trust". Even the larger "companies". I think knowing that an actual staff and office is sitting behind a particular product is a little bit of a relief to the customer, knowing that this particular company needs to stay in business to feed many families. While a one-man shop... who knows... maybe next week he will get a good job offer or just decide he no longer wants to work with clients. I've seen it happen... I think we all have.
