There is nothing at all wrong with developers "charging" for their services. What I have a problem with is when a community develops the majority of the features of the product, then someone else grabs them, sticks a price tag on it and sells it. MT would be nothing like it is now if it werent for the MT community.
I will no longer be using MT. Sure it was a great product, but for Mena, Ben, and the crew I think this was a bad move. Especially since they did this not even a week after Blogger released their upgrade. Why pay for something that should be free.
BTW, I can convert your MT weblogs to pretty much any other weblog if you are interested!
My organization has been happy with a heavily modified version of dotProject (..more info available at my website. Not only does it do a great job of keeping track of "support tickets", but you can send via email and they are automatically added to the support database. There are also a couple of modules for project management which work well too.
