Pretty much everything is too much if the alternative is free. Taking your Sublime Text example, you can get Atom.io which has functionality that is comparable to ST - meaning you'd only pay the $70 for performance. And even then, you can get the free / demo version of ST which is just as usable as the full version, but with an occasional and IMO not very annoying popup every once in a while.


It's fine to use the open source option. The more people who use it and help contribute to it the better.

However, saying that you can live with the occasional nagging of the paid option violates the license. It's an honor system.

Later, we should rip on all those unethical MBA's. Those "losers" need to be taught ethics. Ridiculous!
