I don't mind paying $35 for it. The number of times I have been able to go into other programs ad find out what they are doing has been invaluable. Esp when one if trying to get company 1 program talking with company 2.

This tool is one of the most popular and most used tools in the .NET Community. I'll have happily paid this amount 10 times over based on how much I've used this tool. Half the CLR team uses this tool - so that's a sign off its usefulness. I don't see a problem with paying for something that pays for itself in time saved. You'd be surprised at how much this would actually cost to maintain, while Lutz wrote this on his own - there's a reason he sold it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Noon Silk Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 2:28 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: Red Gate will be charging $35 for .NET Reflector On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 9:18 AM, Michael Ridland <[email protected]> wrote: > > How absolutely ridiculous, I'm very disappointing in red gate. Can hardly blame a company for wanting money. I don't see it as being that valuable anyway; I've only used it a handful of times. Useful, but not required by any means. And it's not going away. I think the attitude of not wanting to pay for software is kind of anti-productive. Some of the best tools for programming are not free (others are). And, I mean, it's $35 dollars. I'd guess that almost all of us are paid at the very least more than that per hour. It's hardly breaking the bank, if you do want it. -- Noon Silk http://dnoondt.wordpress.com/ (Noon Silk) | http://www.mirios.com.au:8081 > Fancy a quantum lunch? http://www.mirios.com.au:8081/index.php?title=Quantum_Lunch "Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy - the joy of being this signature."
