Their upgrade policy may work for or against users. Buying a 2.x license and receiving free upgrades through 3.x is a matter of timing.
Most other developers charge for full version upgrades but give point upgrades free.
(Wolfram, on the other hand charge$ for point upgrades Mathematica 4.1-> 4.2 or 5.1 ->.5.2 for example).

Bye Bye Tinderbox! - Thisbob

There's another app (Sticky Brain/SOHO Notes) that just about once a year announces a new "full version number", and charges an upgrade fee, even when it's doubtful how much actual progress was made.

Would that solve the problem? Eastgate could just call the next update 3.0, and then you would pay for a whole number! Yay!

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you're that stupid. You would look at what the feature change actually was. So why not just look at the feature change anyway and make the exact same decision even though it's points instead of whole numbers?

Eastgate climbs through version numbers conservatively, even when they're adding features.

One other thing I want to point out to anybody reading Versiontracker who does not own Tinderbox already is that when you buy it, you will receive the latest version. In other words, you will immediately have all the updates being discussed by previous posters.
