For a lifetime license incl updates forever that seems quite reasonable to me. It's a bit over a year of Netflix.

In fact, given that it includes perpetual priority support (within a business day!) I expect the author's gonna change that soon, once he gets one of those infinitely demanding customers and realizes what a terrible mistake he made (inf support for a one-time payment, oops!). So better bite while it's hot!

The €40 option for one year of updates is a lot more economical and is still a perpetual license for the software itself.

Now I'm shocked by the cost of Netflix.

The monthly subscriptions always sound cheaper than they are

  Don't forget the old sales technique, £3.99 < £4.00. What a bargain!!!

Imagine paying for a file browser. This is why windows will always win. They have the most docile userbase ever. They'd rather pay 250 bucks for a file picker than to change OS.

If you use software that is $10k/year and Windows only, a few bucks here and there to improve your quality of life is a rounding error

  I wonder if a lot of Windows users are also BMW drivers. If they're willing to shrug off $250 a year to be able to copy files efficiently on their computers, they are likely also to applaud the wonders of $50 a month for heated seats.

  £50 for a heated seat, perhaps, but you also get by far one of the best turbocharged inline-6 engines ever put in a 4-door saloon, the S58. Analogous to Windows NT, a well-engineered kernel.

  $250 (currently $200) is a single perpetual license. Annually it's $40/yr.
  It's easy to lose a few minutes each day to Explorer shenanigans. For people making real money that adds up fast.

Hey Total Commander is free/shareware (if you can live with the nag screen) and superior to anything on any OS

  My solution to the nag screen was that I never turned off my computer, just put it to sleep, so Total Commander was always running.
  Interestingly, TC was one of the few software that I considered paying for, but in the end I didn't because they asked for too much information at the time. Not long later I switched to Linux, and I couldn't use TC there.

This is more of a macOS thing.
Windows users just don't pay and keep using Explorer.
