Peter, as I mentioned, I don't have an issue with the pricing on the developer edition. Unfortunately there is not a good trial version. This functionality is about 1/50th of what makes a useful Wordpress client site. Therefore at even $49/site, we are talking about $2450/site of licenses. That's before we start work. I think you need a bit of perspective.

Business/commercial doesn't mean exploitative pricing.

Before we bring Lasso into our workflow we'd like to trial it in earnest for at least one client or ourselves. That doesn't mean Lasso will pass muster.

As an example of good code which doesn't work for us anymore, we used Soliloquy for awhile. At this point, we don't consider Soliloquy flexible enough for most client sites or SEO friendly enough. We still own the developer license. S2 Member Pro is no longer our membership recommendation. We still own the developer license. I could go on.
