Existing users, 
So it's GPL'ed. So what? He took the time to implement a wrapper and that's worth time. Considering how much work he had to do, and I know cause I helped beta the software, it's worth $10.
Don't like it? Don't use it. Write your own shell. Get over it.

"how much work"? Sorry, an experienced programmer can write this in less than one day. It would take me probably around one and a half.<p>Simply compare this to the effort made by the people who wrote flac and get nothing. Or compare it to other shareware which also costs $10, e.g. Clicker. What a difference.<p>
Maybe $2 would be ok, but even better would be to make it freeware.<p>
I appreciate people writing software for the Mac. But their first simple attempts are simply no reason to get greedy.
