Yes, for $40 Radio is a screaming bargain. However, I'm sure there are
others like me who have used Frontier for a very long time and lately
have been spending $900 annually to maintain it who are pretty pissed
off because:

1) Hardly any attention has been paid to the GUI for years. It still has
highly irritating bugs and deficiencies that make me curse it just about
daily. Amazingly, it still has many of the characteristics of software
that is not truly used by a productivity-minded developer.

2) It still runs like crap on Mac OS X.

3) Radio comes along for $40 and I see exactly how my thousands of
dollars have been spent: to subsidize the development of something that
has nothing to do with the way I use Frontier, while the core
functionality goes unimproved.

I've paid my $900 for the last time, I think. The rate of improvements
to Frontier itself, as opposed to Manila/Radio/whatever, is utterly
inadequate. I'm going to be looking for a replacement for all of my web
site generation.
