    Not when you consider the economics of scale.  Troll Tech had to charge a
hefty price originally, because it was a rather niche product.  The fact that
Borland is now in the game shows that they can bank on selling MANY more
copies, and they can drop the price and stay profitable.

    Of course, it dosen't matter much if Borland comes in or not... I think
commercial KDE/Qt development will become a significant market soon.  Is Troll
Tech public?  :)
