Yep, $150 is pretty ridiculous. Especially when there are other
packages that do much more for that price.
And yes, the enormous size is an indicator that the programmer doesn't
know what he's doing.
Once the API matures (comes out of beta) there will no doubt be many
such packages. And many will be free and with source code so the user
can adapt them to their needs, and be able to trust the code.
