Luts Reflector purchased by Red Gate
-
Lutz Reflector[^], the must-have tool for every .NET developer, listed as one of Scott Hanselman's 10 life- and work-changing utilities, has been bought by Red Gate[^].
Q. “How can it be good news that a commercial software company is taking ownership of a free community tool?” A. “I think we can provide a level of resources that will move the tool forward in a big way. The first thing we are doing is continuing to offer the software to the community for free downloading. The second thing is giving our product management and usability teams the task of going out into the community to get suggestions on how we can make this amazing tool even better. We accept the fact that there will be scepticism, but we can point to a good track record of support for the community. People were wary a couple of years ago when we purchased the SQL Server Central community site, but over time we have won over many of our critics by investing heavily in the site and boosting its readership, while allowing it to maintain editorial independence. I’m hoping I will be able to sit here in a few years time and claim the same level of success with Reflector.”

And you have to register on their site to download it. Why do I have to register to download free software?

So they can send you emails nagging you to buy stuff, of course. :rolleyes: (i've previously made the mistake of using real email addresses for downloading trial versions of their software, and subsequently regretted it)

ILDasm? Bah! I open .NET assemblies in Notepad and look at the bytes as text to find my way around!

A truly outstanding programmer can find bugs buried in a 6 megabyte core dump without using a hex calculator. (I have actually seen this done.)

Virginity is not a requirement.

Eh, but Developer tagged it as a repost the first time around; that's gotta negate any future allegations... :-\
