> I rather pay a developer for support and continued development. If the only difference between these apps is one is a rip off of the other and doesn't cost, that's not a very compelling argument from my limited perspective.

If you're adverse to taking things for free, you're always welcome to donate to the lead maintainer. Nobody is forcing you to take stuff for free, but conversely, arguing that something must be lower quality because you didn't spend more money on it isn't a very compelling argument either. Sounds like the same argument all those proprietary UNIX vendors made before... well, they became irrelevant.

Man, imagine if you could look inside the VCS for Things... Who knows what kind of dragons lurk in there.
