Why would anyone have a problem paying a (small amount) for a great piece of productivity software?
Jamie Cansdale has been copping flack about making TestDriven.Net a commercial product...
Personally I am also all for developers charging small amounts for really useful software. I would consider $95 small for such a productivity enhancing tool. Donations rarely work especially in the IT industry, why pay for something when I can get it for free right? Also - I’d like to say that I think its fairly obvious that the reason Microsoft "encouraged" Jamie to drop Express support was because it made a really good free IDE (Express) into a really, really productive IDE (as in you could churn out TDD type code for the sum total of $0 working in an integrated "Microsoft" environment). Someone needs to pay for Visual Studio. Having great add-ins like test driven made Express a little bit too good I think!!
