The fact that you, Erik, keep coming back to this support issue suggests a guilty conscience. Back in the days when I was a German, we used to have a saying, "Wass ich denk und tuh, trau ich anderen zu." In that sense, I'd guess you're concerned that others won't support LINUX tools because YOU wouldn't. That doesn't happen to be the case, so, just because you lack the time, will, resources, or whatever, to contribute, there'll still be excellent and timely support.

I am, unfortunately, forced to use some free tools where they are the only available solution. For one of these tools I have an outstanding 'showstopper' complaint that has not been resolved in 18 months, Yes, I have been provided with a 'workaround' that 'just' takes two minutes, where a functional tool would require a mouseclick. In comparison, when I used Nohau and HiTech (the only commercial tools where I have had 'showstopper' issues), I got each and every issue solved overningt.
