What details/tools have you found help people transition to similar, open software from closed software, or think could help? (lemm.ee)

I'm thinking of ways to help people move from established software to more open, flexible forms that don't lock them to another organization.

I think people tend to go for open source when it is a free alternative. Especially when it's still quality. Blender is a good example of this.
