I'm glad you've found something which meets your needs. You can't ignore
something like that. But, think of how free software works. When there's
a need, someone works to fill the need, and everyone gets to share. More
volunteers pitch in help, and eventually the product surpasses anything
the proprietary software vendors can offer.

Translation is a task in which non-programmers can contribute. I realise
that your English is not real good, but it's probably good enough that
you could work on some translations.

My suggestion is that you use what best meets your needs, but devote
some of your free time to the free software cause.

I'd also be VERY CAREFUL with that MS software. It may have back doors
and "phone-home" features. They're slow at fixing known security
problems. I would only run an MS OS behind a good solid firewall. You
could throw together an old 386 or 486 with Linux for a job like that.
