What option are you talking about that isn't sufficiently documented?

I don't mean to offend, but you've demonstrated many times here that you 
aren't really very good at looking things up. Maybe it's not the product's 
fault? (Maybe it is, sure, but without a specific example, I'm actually 
going to err on the side of my own experience.)

"Overpriced" and "insanely expensive" are different things. You just seem to 
never have gotten used to the fact that commercial software costs money. 
$200 for a commercial program isn't expensive.  $20,000 is expensive.
