$50 is nothing for such a tool for a one time payment! Even at that price it is very difficult for the tool to make a profitable full time business model. I want to also add that the 50% discount is not a helpful message either.
I always ask my team, how is that as developers we always want free software but yet want a salary hike every year as a software programmer!

A lot of people are short-sighted and self-centered. It's completely and totally rational to buy this product if you're billing at $75/hr and this tool saves you 10+ hours that you couldn't justify billing.
Some people just don't "get it" - that you must produce something of value before you can consume, and that every exchange must leave everyone better off. This is what used to upset me about the software pirates, torrenters, etc. It'll all catch up in the end though, so no need to over-analyze people like this.
I think a lot of people are not billing 75/hour or billing at all.
When you're at work, you typically just have to use the tools the rest of the team does. Then when you are at home, working on a side project... it's essentially a hobby and saving time in a hobby is just a 'nice to have'.
Well, the $50 is low for someone who’s going to use it professionally, but if you just want to make one or two sites (and never use it again afterwards), it’s probably a bit too expensive.
I agree. At $50 I wouldn't buy it as I just use javascript/make websites for myself. It's probably a steal if you do this professionally, or even more often than I do.
The 50% off on the other hand brings it down to where I'm willing to pay for it. So I did.
