It's a great tool for any serious grower. I'm a computer geek myself and I can imagine the amount of work that goes into it. Not many realize the endless nights and countless problems that need to be solved, then bugs fixed, etc, etc. Now add kids, wife, life into the mix and progress is nearly impossible and often infringes on sleep ... or sanity
The software has a very specific audience and it's not something that will appeal to masses like say MS Office. Granted, software isn't cheap, precisely because masses are not buying it. Whatever proceeds Alex get, needs to fund future development, plus this is his main source of income. 30% Discount to our members is very generous and bashing someone that is in reality doing us all a favour by 1. Creating the software tool for the hobby and 2. by offering a deep discount is anything but fair
A lot of people use the software on regular basis and when Alex has an exclusive deal for our community I'll be the first to let everyone know.
