Thanks for the feedback, I'll be doing a lot of modification of the next month or so.
As far as the pricing goes, I did this because I'm hoping that it is low enough that your standard developer will just open up their wallet and buy the software without worrying about getting their boss's approval. In other words I want the price to evoke a "why the hell wouldn't I buy this" response.
My competitors charge several hundred dollars per seat, but I think most companies end up just buying one or two licenses for their architects. I'm hoping I can make near the same amount of money because a company would look at the price and buy a license for all their developers.
I do hope I'll be able to squeeze more money out of the corporate overlords by having an edition meant to run on a build server, that edition will run $200/server.
I know this might sound crazy, but at least for the time being it is more important for me maximize my number of users instead of maximizing my profits. I want to pay back the .Net community by providing reasonably priced software. I'm not saying I'll never bump my prices, but not in the foreseeable future.
