Humanized Enso going free...
mouser:
I don't think they are dropping development.. Developers got hired by mozilla, no longer have to market their software (i guess they did well enough marketing themselves). So now they can make the software free and get paid by mozilla corp.
lanux128:
my bad.. blinded by the w00t factor, i had assumed the development is coming to a halt.
Dirhael:
Mind giving us a list of your purchases from the past year, Dirhael? I'd hate to buy anything and have it go freeware - with your list I'd have a starting point for deciding what to, and what not to, buy ;D

VSiAQ:
When I heard that Enso's free now, I decided to give it a try. Not impressive, though.
It's more beautiful and cooler than FARR, no doubt ;D
However, having to type 4 extra keys (o p e n) just to open an application is a major drawback for me. Also, I'm unable to open any directories of my choices without having to write the directory name down, select it, hold down capslock, type open with xyplorer, release capslock - wow, what a process!
Time for bed, I'd inspect this RAM consuming launcher more thoroughly tomorrow.
