Since I have no direct experience with this particular
product, I have no axe to grind, either way.  What I liked,
however, was that you seem to be paying close attention and
to have an open, flexible attitude towards addressing the
actual concerns of actual people.  Though you're not the
only developers who might do so, it's a refreshing change of
attitude after the insistent "it's free so you get screwed"
point of view Scott is trying to argue for.
