You 'hit the nail'...
as a senior developer in a small company, I usually buy one (the
first one) licence of a new Software from my own wallet. I bought the
pro-version of RealBasic, the same with FaceSpan, Scripter etc. When
an update is 'calling' and the costs are about a 'RealBasic - update'
- no one asks about
But with Rev. (there are dozens of things I love in rev.) things are
different. I'm afraid that the free version isn't the right thing for
building app's -not just for own purpose. And the pricing is to high.
although I can understand the reasonings from Rev (basically, I
agree) - but for me, the licence-fees are too high :-(
I'm building small app's -maybe used one time- using FaceSpan or RB
as long as there is a customer involved - and I'm 'playing around'
with Rev :-)
