Oh, Stephen... Do we really need to go down that street?
It's not nice to imply that "hobby" users are not "serious": the two are NOT mutually exclusive. They may pay less for a license, but they get less, too, and, still, they PAY. While not Bill Marriott-possibly hopping mad about the subscription model vis-a-vis (long?)standing bugs, still I can see a few points to his argument, which is how can one blindly keep ka-chinging into Rev's coffers when one can't know how it will personally pay off? I really suspect that it wouldn't be much fun to be a *nix user to keep raiding the kitty to get... what exactly again? And, while rather alot of the *nix distro problems aren't Rev's fault, still, why should *nix users keep paying and not getting too much in return? Also, even some of us hobby users 'step up to the plate' in a fashion. I buy what I can (either personally and/or via my students and my department -- really short change, I must admit) less because it actually helps me in the classroom but rather because I wish to do what I can do to help keep the Revolution 'keep on creepin' on like a bird that flew' (apologies to Dylan). Please, let us shoot the message, not the messenger because, as you so aptly note, it's about community.
