HAVE TO DISAGREE - TheAppleGeek

Time is not relative to you. RealMac Software does not charge for every little upgrade. Hell, they didn't charge for the 2.x -> 3.2.1 upgrade. 3.6 is a paid upgrade because the company had not had any income except for new registrations for over 3 years. It is a well deserved upgrade, and quite a reasonable price for what you get?

So the company has not had any income apart from new registrations for 3 years, you could say the same for Ford Motor Company, "they have not had any income apart from new car sales".

The FACT is we were the people who originally supported RW, who put up with various "undocumented features" and basically bug tested it and suggested new features and it is obvious that if we had all thought, "Hmm I will wait until the application is perfect before I register it" they would not have got beyond v.1.1

As I explained, I would not have a problem if we were paying for a significant upgrade to V4.0 but not from 3.5-3.6 and the upgrade fee is quite frankly extortionate.

Unfortunately the developers have lost a lot of respect and once it's gone, they will find it hard to get it back.

Are you kidding!? - jeffhrsn

This comment is so completely untrue that it smacks of intentional bad press. What exactly is your agenda, friend?

This a great app at a great price and the developers put in a great deal of time and haven't charged for a major upgrade in a VERY long time.

Take your lies elsewhere.

'Pay me happy'? What are you on? This is the first paid upgrade for TWO YEARS. Frankly, the only mistake the developer has made IMHO is not calling this version 4, as that might have saved some confusion. Otherwise Rapidweaver is excellent value.

...here's my .02, from someone who just visited realmac to check out the upgrade info and realized i'd have to lay down $25:
i have no agenda - love the software...i drop my .html by hand but thought RW was cute and quick and functional and bought it (3.5) about 10 months ago. my disappointment is that w/ 3.6.1 i'm asked for $25 for an upgrade. yes - those who've been skating w/ their initial investment from 2 years ago might not have much cause to gripe. people like myself who were happy to pay $35'ish within past 10 months and are now looking at another $25 to climb the ladder? i'd hope for a diff. pricing model (maybe offering the upgrade to those who've purchased within the past year, irregardless of their 'version,' for less than $25?), and while i'll continue to use my RW 3.5 this has dampened some of my bouncy vibes about RW. again just my .02. :) -benjamin

I spend infinitely more on coffee than I do on RW. It has been running very reliably most of the day for the last year, so if you are using it at all, I don't see how RW is expensive, or even figures as more than a blip in your budget. if it just sits in the dock little used, of course it is dear.
