Hi,

Well, I guess this is a case of one person seeing the glass as half full and the other seeing it as half empty. I choose to see it as half full, but to each his own.

Check out this link:

Look at the list of fixes in version 2.46.
If I'm not mistaken, each PBP user needs to pay to get those fixes.
Proton users don't have to pay for bug fixes, nor added features.

When we DO notice a bug, it's generally taken care of in short order.
I, personally, would rather have that. That's just my opinion anyway.

Regards,
