With the release of 6.0, red-gate started to charge for reflector, so lets look at that. There are basically two scenarios regarding the "Lets see if we can make some money off of reflector" experiment:
1) Red-Gate didn't get any/enough income off the pro version to justify further work on reflector
2) Red-Gate made a lot of money on the pro version and think they can get more
If #1 is the case, it basically means that the market determined that their enhancements weren't better than the free tool, so they built enhancements that no one wanted.
If #2 is the case, then they are just greedy bastards.
There's nothing we can do about #2, but with #1, this indicates that they wasted their time and the person who came up with the pro version concept screwed up, and now that person feels they need to fix this.
You'd think they'd realize that trying to directly sell reflector failed, and will always fail.
Hopefully they'll come to their senses and make a free version with a revenue source via advertising.
If not, I know that there will be a codeplex open source project that someone will create, and I'll gladly give them my $35. / comments
