$20 for a Mandelbrot fractal generator? Seriously?

This program is a really good programmed fractal analyzer. It is very fast and has enough options to satisfy nearly everybody I guess. On the iMac 27'' you obtain very large fractals within a few seconds and once calculated you can change parameters to explore it better. I use it meanwhile very often and never had any crash. It's running here on Mavericks (10.9.2) and the actual version is 2.0.0!

Unlike Fracture, which is very old and not been updated in ages but still works well, this can't be used as a screen saver, or set up to automatically rotate through new fractals. You also can't easily change color schemes. Fracture makes it very easy to cycle through endless color schemes with hot keys and save ones you like while running as a saver. This is also limited in they types of fractals it will generate (2). The 3D option is a nice twist, but this has a ways to go before I'd consider switching to it from Fracture which I use daily, as old as it is.

I'd love to see this with the capability of using other equations and adding other effects. The "Fracture" screensaver does some impressive things with fractals.
