I agree with Robert. The server cost is still a bit high. The strength of WiTango is the studio. It would be great if it could export php code. Nonetheless, this is a good breakthrough and hope to see the community grow.

I think the studio price is spot on. I still think the server should be sub 1000, but just my opinion. Good to see the change to one machine license.
