Juan One of the great things about the United States, and I presume that this is your home, you have the right to put your money where your mouth is. Think you have a better mousetrap and can build and sell it more lcost effectively, then show the world. If you can and can survive in the competitive marketplace, then all will be beating a path to your doorstep. However, if you don't cover your expenses and are a for profit operation, you will soon choose, regardless of customer satisfaction, cease to exist.
I should add that specialized software in all fields is expensive. My sighted wife just purchased a program to run on her embrodery machines which was over $2,000. Why, well the market is small, customers expect much handholding, company reps have to go around North America (and perhaps elsewhere) demonstrating, appearing at shows, workshops, and all the rest. Only the federal government can fund programs via the printing press to pay for them. The rest of the business world has to pay their bills on an ongoing basis (and those include salaries) or cease to exist. The complexities of WE, along with its superb functionality beyond mere the reading of a screen, explains why it sells for what it does. Moreover, once you pay the initial tab, the costs of upgrading are minimal to keep yourself at the cut edge of even greater functionality. Could WE be sold for less, I don't know. Could GWMicro justify a higher price, most likely. It is a competitive marketplace, and there are alternatives to WE out there. It is up to the users individually to decide which alternative and price level will serve their needs best. Just remember, you often get what you paid for; and what initially might appear to be a cost effective bargain ends up proving the most costly both from a utility and pocketbook standpoint.
