I agree, and the 30 day trial isn't enough. It would be side projects, so I may get to hack on it for a day and maybe a night or two. I can write Obj-C, and Java, they just aren't as intuitive or enjoyable to me. And lets face it, $200 is just too much to spend when RubyMotion may not exist for version 4, and then I have an entire application that needs to be ported into Obj-C and Java... And a promise of open sourcing it doesn't help, because there may be no maintainers. IronRuby, now that C# has dynamics, would be awesome. But it hasn't been updated in 3 years. I'd even drop $100 sight unseen. But $200... Noooope.

Do you see the contradiction here? I am happy, delighted even, to pay $200 (and then $100/yr) precisely because I know it is going to keep the company afloat for version 4, and 5, and 6. If anything I worry they are charging too little.

You want good things to exist, someone has to pay for them! Why is this so hard to understand?

Um, because I don't know if it's a good thing. How hard is that for you to understand. Seriously, did you read my comment before deciding to lay on the snark.
