$5 is super cheap and affordable.
My time isn't though.
And I'll waste a lot of it now because I'll have to hunt out a corporate credit card and/or fill out an expense claim to install it on the (company owned) macs we use at work for dev.
$5 may as well be $1000 dollars for the effort I'll have to go through to get it now.
And all so I can get GCC installed so I can use homebrew to build the open source libs I need for doing web / backend dev.
Hoping Apple releases a "lite" version that contains the bare minimum needed to do that without all the extra IDE fluff I never use.
