Why use Freebaser?
When a spreadsheet is to limited and Access/Filemaker/SAP etc are to large and expensive, this is where Freebaser comes into play. Freebaser follows the unix ideology of \'doing one small thing and do it well\'. The Client database application wont make your toast or clean your clothes but it allow you to maintain a database of your clients and do it well. Also Freebaser is licensed under the GNU GPL v2
Why not to use Freebaser?
Because you want your database to run your organisation and not use your database to run your organisation. or because you cant be assed setting up mysql
