Yes, I am an Apple customer, though really don't think that has anything to do with it.

My opinion stems from running my own SaaS applications, seen the business downsides of all the free stuff, and now don't focus very much on the free aspect. I prefer trial.

I also recognize that me paying for a service I like is a healthy way to help that service stay around, because that is how I view it when my customers are paying me.
