Software Sphinx & Hobo
Both of your opinions are valid, but I am more inclined to lean in Hobo's direction because I believe that the programmers of LW & LW Pro deserve some recompense for their efforts.
I am also a buyer of small niche applications that the big boys won’t touch, for example I have recently bought an app that allows me to incorporate and use PDF documents within MS Word 97. And I have recently purchased a small fax software that has more facilities than those offered by MS Fax, e.g. it will send faxes to machines that are older and slower than the latest available.
Again, I believe that the makers of these small apps deserve a reward for the time and effort they have put into developing these apps.
To conclude, there is space out there for both free and paid for software to exist and it’s just a matter of personal taste which one you prefer.
