Are you serious?
Jutoh is thirty-nine dollars. That's cheap in any reality, and for anyone who wants to make commercial ebooks, it's
laughably cheap.
There's clearly a significant difference between DIY'ers and commercial interests. And I don't particularly care if Sigil is free; in fact,
I'd prefer it if there was distinct development between a professional version and free version. Of
course a huge part of Sigil's "appeal" is that it's free; people always like stuff that's FREE. And if enough people had actually donated to Sigil's development--
which Valloric made clear was a problem, months ago--V probably wouldn't have felt compelled to find a new maintainer, either.
I'm particularly fond of Mohamed's wishlist. Can I get a pony, too?
