Thank you for this great advise! I guess I hang out with the wrong circle ;). Most developers around me typically would just download something that is free (if it's cross-platform it gets +1 added-value since often we switch between Windows and Ubuntu). Case and Point: Eclipse vs IntelliJ. I bought IntelliJ during the Doomsday discount (75% discount) but people around me still using Eclipse until some event where they decided to move to the "free" (community) version of IntelliJ. I haven't gone back to Eclipse after that... I'm just amazed with your story. I need to "get out" more and talk to more people... seriously...

IntelliJ is a lot more expensive than $40. At their price point, I'd assume they mostly target enterprise customers, and not so much individual developers. Maybe that's another selling point for my app? Most other database software is targeted at enterprise customers (endless feature checklists, a price of $500 per seat); whereas I mostly target individual developers.
