I actually think this news is refreshing. New minds, new coders - fewer bugs, timely fixes. Personally, I don't mind paying for a good product. In our hobby, we shell out huge bucks for hardware; why not put a few bucks on the software that can help make things more managable. HRD is a great program, but we all know it has its blemishes. It would be great to have those bugs fixed and perhaps see some innovative enhancements. Everything costs money. Coders have families as well. Give them a fair chance to show what they can do. If you are not satisfied - move on to something else - just quit all the whining - it is unmanly, you know:-)
