Here's an interesting quote by "Rux" that I found in the German Amiga Club forum. It should be common knowledge by now that TurboCalc is not being developed anymore. What I didn't know is that the programmer is now working for SAP, in California. And apparently, "he's earning as much in two months now than he did in the five years he worked on TurboCalc". Here's the original quote, in German.
TurboCalc:
Wird NICHT weiterentwickelt! Die letzte Version ist 5.2 (update auf 5.0). Der Programmierer ging zu SAP und arbeitet jetzt in California (und verdient in 2 Monaten soviel, wie in 5 Jahren Arbeit an TurboCalc).

It makes sense.
The Amiga market just doesn't make enough money anymore.
Situation a)
Develop your Amiga product night and day. Hope you sell 1000 copies (unlikely) and then support it for the rest of your life with the little revenue you collect from it.
Situation b)
Use your programming skills for a larger company making a lot of money per year, working regular hours (usually), with benefits and a life.
Hmmm, tough choice.
