I don't hate it, but I have leaned away from hourly for a few reasons.

1. I prefer easing clients mind by letting them know how much they will be paying 2. I'm confident in estimating 3. I draw the line in the sand by making it clear that working outside of the contract is non-negotiable unless we mutually agree to revise/update it and the cost

Two exceptions. 1. They do not have a clear spec (or no spec). It will be hourly until that is defined. 2. Maintenance mode
