I'll say it one more time... RemObjects manage to provide very good support
for good quality products with extensive, impressive and innovative
technology that does indeed "just work" (as in effortlessly, not "barely"
LOL) at a very reasonable price.  $49 Turbo Pascal it certainly isn't, but
lined up against the likes of Delphi and Xamarin and particularly after
adjusting for inflation (for comparison with the $49 TP) it isn't far off.

Cheap(er) = lower quality is *not* a rule, and certainly not a Universal
Constant.
