Taking an app from an internal application to a shrink-wrap ready for the masses state is a lot of work, and updating/supporting/marketting a product even more so. So after the huge sucess of PowerShell Plus which is now safe in Idera's hands we need your help to decide what we are going to release next. We plan to release some free projects, even some opensource apps, but will likely look at productizing a project so we can continue to feed our families. Please take the time to take our survey
----- As many of you know, PowerShell Plus has been a great success and is now developed and sold by Idera, and we’ve made PowerShell Analyzer 100% free!. Despite PowerShell Analyzer not having much active development done for almost 2 years, surprisingly it is still very popular with a large user base. Based on your feedback and the following thoughts we need to decide where to invest our development time, and which internal prototypes to bring to the community.
• We have invested a lot into PowerShell Plus, from vision and incubation to a mature product and we don’t want to compete in the marketplace directly with PowerShell Plus. • PowerShell editors are now a generic commodity. In addition to the awesome PowerShell plus. There are many free “good enough” solutions, including some open source ones, Microsoft’s upcoming Graphical PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment and some other “lower common denominator” solutions that are still free. • We have created and continue to innovate PowerShell technology that can live just as well outside an editor product as in one.
There are many questions on here. Feel free to not answer them all, it’s the top questions that are most important to us, but the more you fill in, the happier you’ll make us.
