I just don't get the resistance - other than price. But, having used it, I would pay out of pocket if I had to.

With a 22" monitor turned vertically, I can see ~120 lines of code. The edit-compile-debug (bugs?) cycle is a phenomenal improvement. A coworker still spends parts of some days drawing lines on a printout to figure out if/do blocks. Of course, I tell him that if he coded in free format it would be a lot easier too. But, sadly, we have a lot of fixed format code (even more sadly, some written this year).
