You would think so, but how much of your time is that $300 worth.
The way I look at it, Craft saves me so much time, the price is negligible compared to the extra work of a 'free' CMS. If you spend a few hours wrangling some crazy plugin on a 'free' CMS then you've already paid for Craft.
Free isn't always free, and $300 for what Craft does is a huge bargain.
