Take the USD appreciation in front of most currencies and you'll have a made up yet pretty reasonable estimation.
70 sounds fine but what about 210 for a text editor? That's how it feels in Brazil for example.
- melling 12y agoYes, I get how the exchange rate works, and I understand that there are a fair number of developers in Brazil. It doesn't answer my question though, which is where do most developers live? Like I said there's nothing wrong with choosing free software. It's a great option. The more Linux, vim/Emacs/Eclipse, Gimp/Inkscape users, the better.
- sebastianconcpt 12y agoIs the statement in question this one? They work on/for local markets, earning local salaries. $70 is suddenly a lot. Nothing to do with being "cheap".
