I didn't say it's overpriced. It's a pretty fair price. But that's all. I just think there's a lot of credit given to it as "free"/"cheap" software, when in reality it's neither.
You have to remember that before version 1 it was completely free. At that point it was in position to completely corner its market (free software) because of its feature set.
Instead, it entered at a middle-tier price in a saturated market. In my opinion, it's got a pretty good feature set, but nothing that completely blows away Sonar/Cubase/eXT for most users. If it didn't have the distinction between commercial and non-commercial licenses, then maybe it'd be a different story.
