It looks nice but I shouldn't have to pay to test a beta.

You don't "have" to. It's your choice not to participate in the beta program or not.

You should have to do whatever the software author requires of you. How do you suppose he's going to finance this ongoing development?

Just put up or shut up. It's like a broken record in here.

You're nuts. It's akin to paying for AROS. Looks pretty but has almost zero app support.
