It's just the way it is. Not a complaint! I need to figure out how to convince the boss to spend $800 per person plus a new annual maintenance expense, and if there's any place I'd like to see the conversation turn, that's it. I like WDSC and want to keep using it. I need the ammo to convince the boss.

This bit always confuses me. Now, as much as I realize that $800 is a good chunk o'change when I pull it out of my pocket, and as much as I realize that business expenses seem just to keep piling on, a dollar here and a dollar there, it still can't sink in that $800 (plus $200/yr) per developer is that big of a cost when viewed beside the cost of the developer.

I don't understand it either. Even buying a $79 book seems like 'too much' expense for so many companies. Programmer productivity simply does not seem high on the list of priorities.
