Works for me. Support for the free api seems still important to me, resourcing permitting, because afaik the price tag on ArcObjects is high to the point of being ridicolous. Heck, one the main reason why I joined GeoTools almost 10 years ago was that I needed a library for my GIS course students to use, and the price tag on MapObjects java edition was way out of reach (ESRI was just interested in selling the facutly a campus wide license, which nobody wanted, but they would not give us free or cheap student versions of MapObjects).
