Comments on: MarsEdit For Mac Gem Of The Year http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/434/marsedit-for-mac-gem-of-the-year Mac & Technology Writings by Daniel Jalkut Sun, 6 Jul 2008 16:22:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Daniel Jalkut http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/434/marsedit-for-mac-gem-of-the-year#comment-134639 Daniel Jalkut Wed, 14 Nov 2007 13:34:27 +0000 http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/434/marsedit-for-mac-gem-of-the-year#comment-134639 Jon: I appreciate your complaints, but it's hard to compare the efforts of a one-person company like myself with the efforts of a huge corporation like Microsoft or VMWare. These companies have huge economy of scale, and also huge revenues from other products to pick and choose how they price their consumer-end software. Obviously, don't pay for something if you don't think it has value, but try to judge things on their own merit instead of stretching to make comparisons with other things. VMWare? We're not even vaguely in the same market.

I mean, VMWare's Fusion costs just as much and arguably I get a lot more bang for my buck. Development is also pretty slow. What's changed in the past two months. Compare this software with Microsoft's pluggable LiveWriter and you'll see what I mean. I’d vote - but this software is really expensive for what it does.

Always talk in plural about your company since customers will have more confidence in you. Well, isn’t that one of the rules of being a one-man shop?

It's really too bad one is only allowed one gem, because there is another program on this list that I'm really fond of. (I'll just say that it's name recently changed...) Congratulations.
