Software worth paying for

There’s a lot of software out there.

Careless software: Stuff people maintain because it prints cash, who cares how it looks or if users like it. It prints cash.

Uncared for software: Stuff people made but don’t really look after or update. It got old, it still works, but barely.

Hype software: Stuff that makes a lot of noise, but if you look past the fanfare, there’s not much there.

Good software: Stuff that’s well made, well cared for, updated, and has substance rather than hype.

The last one is very rare. If you find it, try to pay for it — those guys need all the help they can get.
