Even in this so far small thread, we already have disagreement about the worth of totally free offerings of undisputed quality. I cant even imagine the clash (ahem!) of expectations that would occur with people debating the merits of payware. Not to mention vendors with hurt feelings arriving to defend their products......

Very disappointing, after having spent 100+ hours on a FREE airport scenery, getting hundreds of downloads on fs.to, to have one user rock up and give you a lonely 3 stars for effort. Especially if the user's only contribution to the "community" consists of criticizing other people's work. fs.to is bad enough with reviews since it enforces a period between download and comment/rate. Kind of a good idea on paper, but most people just can't be bothered to come back later to comment/rate. But I can just imagine a review forum here on avsim that allows gratuitous commenting on other people's free work. It would discourage anyone starting out (and I have seen huge improvements in some freeware developers over time) and people might just stop sharing. So by all means, keep highlighting outstanding contributions (like this OP). But limit criticisms and ratings to developers who want to extract money from your wallets. My 2cents.
