I paid for the original Pragmata font in 2004, and he has kept sending updates surprisingly often ever since. I suppose I upgraded to Pragmata Pro in 2011, so only 8 years of updates on that. Money well spent for 40 hours a week of use
I wasn't knocking Pragmata Pro and the dude has the right to charge for his work.
That said for my needs Iosevka and Pragmata are pretty much a dead heat and one is free and open.
If you prefer Pragmata then sure the the cost per hour over a decade is irrelevant (the same reason I pay out of pocket for intellij ultimate at work, work would pay for it but I use it outside of work and it's not worth the hassle).
