Pricing / entry cost for this tool

[Mark Smith]

Dan, this is an innocent question, not intended to provoke or  
contradict, but where do you think Rev is currently falling down with  
regard to either pro developers or inventive users?

As a hobbyist/inventive user (an excellent phrase, btw), I feel very  
well served by Rev, though perhaps others may not.
