First of all... documentation was not on the poll... :) 

Ok. Now for the real question. What would I pay for a authoring tool?

Well, assuming it had the following:

- No OS Dependancy (runs on anything from Windows 95 -> OS X)
- Small application size
- A good set of features (Color coding)

As an individual I would pay up to $75.
