So, the one thing that you didn't answer was the difference between a "project" and a "workspace" if there is one. I do have hobby things that aren't open source where 50 cents per day would be doable, if unwelcome. However, if it's 50 cents per day per project, that can add up pretty fast and $55/mo isn't a trivial cost considering that I can run my development and test stuff off my machine (granted, with the caveat of having to do all the annoying setup myself).

I'll probably get an account for open-source later today to play around with, but if your Ruby stuff is really good (when it lands) and works well for collaboration, I could easily justify $15/mo to my boss and sometimes one isn't trying to create the solution for every cheap hobbyist out there. It can be good to be the Basecamp of IDEs and maybe that's how you should sell it (in contrast to my comparisons to Eclipse and RubyMine).
