As part of “The Real Week Of Independent Mac Developers” I’ve bought a copy of Tables (€39.00), a fine spreadsheet application for Mac OS X. I’m not sure what other software I’m in the market for right now (I just paid for an upgrade for CSS Edit a few days ago).
I’m happy to buy shareware at full price and support the developers who create such cool software. I’d rather give my money direct to the developers and not to middlemen who add no value to the product itself. Some middlemen we are stuck with (e.g. payment processors) but some we shouldn’t be.
