I got the MacUpdate Desktop for the lower price with the MU Promo Bundle. Actually, this is one of the apps i like most of the bundle. It's really useful in telling you how up-to-date your Mac applications are and in some cases even provides a one click update. I find that espcially useful for the widgets. So in summary: much more useful than I expected. It doesn't always work perfectly (for example, it replaced my Elgato Turbo.H264 HD app with the Elgato Turbo.264 app (without HD), but in many cases, it works pretty well. If you got it as well with the bundle, give it a try!

I agree with the comments. The $50 price point is too steep for an application that merely provides some convenience over the command-line. Most people i know run subversion together with a trac installation anyway, so most other useful features like the well arranged timeline are present already. I hope the authors will change their mind about the price. For me, $15-$20 is a more appropriate price point for this. Other than that, this is clearly a nice application with a lot of polish for a 1.0x version!
