To list owner: I am not sure if vendors are prohibited from posting comments to this list, if they are, let me know and I won't post next time.
Excelsior JET is not an IDE that every developer must have on his/her workstation. It is more like a setup generator. Typically, a team of developers working on a particular project would purchase one or two licenses. As a result, the smaller the team, the higher is the price per developer. For small companies, especially for early stage startups that do not yet have paying customers, this surely may be a deal breaker. We have therefore created a special licensing program that has been working very well for our smaller customers since mid-2008: http://www.excelsior-usa.com/store/jetmb.html Please do not hesitate to email me directly if you have any questions.
