Don't know what it's like nowadays; I suspect it's fallen from it's former glory. Nevertheless, if you consider that $1500 is less than a week's salary for a programmer, you just need to work out whether a $1500 tool is going to save you a week of programming time. Back in the day I was using the heavily discounted education edition as I was a poor student; many products still have something like this (for example JetBrains' suite is free for students and OSS projects). But the price itself isn't really that much in the scheme of things.
