In all honestly I don't think that is true, and would really like to see your product. As a developer unless the utility provides a huge boost in productivity ( which is relative ), or is a tool that i've been looking for a long time.. its not really worth paying for. Also developers tend to be forgiving when it comes to tools and will accept free or open source alternatives more than an average user, again unless their is a perceived huge productivity boost. For example: Firebug was such a huge boost in doing web development, they could of easily charged for this and developers would of payed.
