I'm willing to put up with quite a bit actually. Even ads, since I use an ad blocker. ;)

What I really don't like I can rip out.

I mean, realistically, plugin authors are giving away their work. I can easily see both sides of the argument, and it would be nice for the consumer to get free goods while the plugin author get paid somehow. That's win-win to me. I think it would lead to better plugins.
