Really surprised to see people balk at $29 for a software productivity tool. I mean, I get it if it's not worth it for you, but I happily paid a similar amount for SourceTree (before it was free ;) ), and pay similar amounts for all sorts of development tools. It doesn't take much productivity gain for these sorts of tools to pay for themselves quickly. This is the sort of thing that a dev lead might buy for his team to teach/enforce the git-flow workflow quickly and easily. We happen to use Mercurial around here, so that was my biggest turnoff, but the rest of the value proposition made plenty of sense to me: Solve one problem. Solve it well. Charge real money. I wish these guys success. :)
