Currently? Yes. But I think they (we) do see that although currently the main reason is that is is free/gratis (this is each day less true), in the future it will be better (more capabilities/stability) and for everyone (not owned by a company).
But the reason to use free software should not be that it is better, because then people will stop using free software if it fails to be better. This is especially important because some laws prevent us from doing software that is better (patent law for example). Sometimes free software is better, and sometimes it isn't. In both cases you should use free software because it is free.
