They are doing us a favor, there's no denying that. Just like dozen of other providers did them a favor by providing them with the free software pieces they relied on to build their product.

Of course it's poor taste to add the "You're welcome". But poor taste is par for the course for such startup, unfortunately.

I meant it in a broader sense. Even for paid products, corporations view themselves as doing customers a favor. That's the sort of antagonistic relationship they define.
