Since UR version suddenly jumped from 3.5 up to 4.0, I'm guessing this is a way to fund additional development. Although $50 is a lot of money, I don't mind so much because UR has become essential to my computing life.
If you look at other software vendors moving to annual subscription fees--THAT would be worse than major version upgrade fee every few years. Kinook indicated some time ago there were not enough new UR customers to keep development going. Hopefully that will change in the future.
Meanwhile, I'll give up a couple "steak dinners" to upgrade a product this good and hope the door is open again for a few more items on the roadmap/request list (as others are excitedly dusting off and asking about here).
P.S. I think any ease-of-use or improved help enhancements have a double benefit of possibly bringing in more new customers who might otherwise be overwhelmed or simply ignorant of the power and flexibility of UR (I'm still learning what is possible after a few years).
