I looked at your pricing back then and I believe you charged $20,000 for the same packager. Finally, someone from your company woke up and realized that your original pricing was insane.

It seems SD is not included in the full licence. Am I wrong? Please touch it on as it is crucial. Thanks. I have been waiting for it since your blog entry about it in November.

I would choose Adobe AIR platform or Silverlight. Much faster & robust GUI development.

It would be good to know before I pay my money! For me it is more about the functionality than the money, so how do the other products do it better? Thanks. @The Don

FileSystem, access to other running applications, etc etc ... It s just insane how much Sencha is charging for this when they are allready better free available tools. Even more insane is the people saying this is great news. This should be a free tool. Sench a has become a really greathy company. @Dmitry
