I already bought their easypic2 (very good, I'm enjoying a lot), then we'll
probably buy the compiler for $99 if that's the case. The point is: money is
not the problem, but commit to a product I don't know if will be around
tomorrow. Well, I think it's a risk.

I've been visiting their forum and they are very responsive, and looks like
they are working on new releases constantly. For example, my project
involves logging data to compact flash. They first came up with FAT
libraries, then with FAT16, and now they even have a complete ADC data
logging project available on their website.

Being a delphi programmer myself, I think I got used not being on the
mainstream (read C/C++), although I'm very proficient with those too.
Personal taste I guess.
