Developers underestimate how much work it takes to build things. For large stuff like IDEs, developers buy them and pay good money.

But yeah many developers look at prices badly. Will it save you more time/effort than the price? That's the threshold. Not some abstract idea of "worth the money."

ya.. a lot of these things are no brainers when you do the math. let's say i believe myself to be worth $100/hr and the software costs $50. can i build this in 30 minutes? hmm, i might be able to set up an empty project in 30 minutes.
