No, I want "it should exist and should be paid for"... even if that amount winds up being quite small, and only a one-time payment... but I know I'm in the minority that believes nobody should work for free. I'm willing to tolerate a one-time payment knowing that good programming systems products are not going to fall out of the sky because of the amount of work required to hatch them in the first place is apparently beyond what both individual hackers and paid corporate developers are willing to put into their works, so I can't just sit back and wait for someone to write something good... if I don't pay someone who says they'll do it, it's not going to happen at all.
