How long do you think a developer should provide free updates for his software? 2 years as with Day One, 5 years, 10 years?

I'm all for supporting developers, but this is hardly a 2.0 version.
They just want to cash in while their app is hot (with a little help
from their friends at Apple, Lifehacker etc. who will promote their
software). That doesn't seem like a sustainable business model to me.
