Umm they occasionally do offers for personal users around 130 USD IIRC.
That's about what I got the copy here for.

The win32 version is closely matching idea, and eclipse is open source.
I've completely failed to get the gtk2 version working, it's build stuff
is horrendous (well to me),  I've just upgraded gnome so going to try
again.  Also stl-carbon is not yet done and the gtk is only x86 (haven't
had a chance on my ppc linux box yet). 

I'm just waiting for the dav (and mod_dav) to get delta-v so I can
replace VisualAge and SourceSafe at work.
