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.

I agree. 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.

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.
