I am genuinely curious to know what factors into your decision to settle on $1000 as the number? Could you give some more details about your process of researching and assessing, which lead to this conclusion? Is the number based on what you have found to be a feasible cost to develop and sustain a suitable product? Or is the number just generally based on a loose budget of what you would be willing to pay? Nicolas gave some very nice insight into the Golaem project and what it takes to produce and and support an industry standard product. Doed his description sound like it doesn't align with the price point? We cannot sit back and let plugins like these hold on to a high priced > status in the market.
