Not to pick on you in particular, but I think it's a bit disingenuous to try to say "something is priced to be worth about X amount of time" - it entirely depends on the person and their financial situation.

I've used Sublime Text 2 for a year without actually buying it, but I've also been unemployed college student for the same amount of time, so I can't justify dropping $60 on something optional when I could be stocking up on ramen or paying rent.



Thank you! I keep seeing these kinds of comments and feeling like I must be the poorest person ever to post here. I have yet to make even $15 an hour (which is a mere tenth of what adamjernst apparently gets paid).


You're far from the only one. Reported HN salaries are a lot like internet-penis sizes.
