My friend pays $350 month for a bunch of apps, and considers it money well
spent.  I think that the developer community has a tendency to compare the
price of of services with the price of open source software (free) and
assume that no-one will pay.  In the commercial world though, the comparison
is with what it would cost you for hosting PLUS sys admin.. which, for most
organisations is both a pain in the ass and very expensive.

As Sven mentioned, this is very much a chicken and egg situation.
