Value is subjective, but I do consider worth it to fund LJ's work on the app.
He has been working on Sync for years full time, which is why Sync was/is one of the most polished and frequently updated apps out there. If there's a small price to pay for it, so be it, the guy has to eat.

Not full time, he was a student iirc which is why he went MIA for like a year

He went MIA when people hated v20, apparently he was a bit burnt out already and the response to the update was the tipping point. But LJ does make a living out of Sync.

Which made me so sad. Yes, v20 was a big change, but it was overall a better experience, in my opinion. I'd been using it for a long time on the beta before it was released to stable and was absolutely shocked at its general reception.
