I absolutely agree with this. It isn’t open-source, it’s commercial software. Someone has spent a lot of time in building something which helps me in my day job. That’s worth cold hard cash. If Jon dies, I either keep using my current version or switch to some new hotness when it makes a compelling argument. If Jon changes it for the worse, I’ll either keep using my current version or switch…
At the end of the day, the cost for this software is not a lot of money and if it helps me in my professional life I’m happy to pay it. Not everything has to be free software. There are lots of free text/programming editors out there (I wrote one many years ago), but if you want to use this one, this version, you pay for it. It’s not rocket science.[/quote]
Open source doesn’t mean that is free, there are a lot of open source projects where you have to pay, I´m not complaining about the price, which I think is fair, but about the licence.
