MP Gravity is not.

From the MPGravity website:
The Toolbar can not be customized by the end user, except
for a small subset of the previous commands. The customizable
toolbar was licensed and had to go.

No spell checker. No Gallery code. No backup program code.
No help source files.

Wouldn't make it 'priceless' at the expense of the other versions in my
eyes.

From the MPGravity website:

Gee, you declined to add the following: "(However, Gallery and Backup
seem to work if you have them, Gallery and GravityBackup can be
downloaded separately from one of the download sites listed on Tom's
Gravity Pages)
What part of the term "help source files" don't you understand?

Further - one sentence following your cut-n-paste:
"Update: Build 2067 adds a preliminary spell checker (MySpell)"

Wait there's more you may have missed:

"* PCREs. Gravity now uses Perl Compatible Regular Expressions. The
original package was licensed and had to go. Please read the following
issues regarding REs".

Much more powerful RegEx than that found in Gravity and Super Gravity.

"* Basic X-Face support is provided.

* NEW - A Decode to .. function that over rides the configured
directories.

* NEW - There is a new "Complete_Binaries" checkbox on the
"Add/Edit" filter dialog box. Filters should still work if the filter
name begins with "Complete_Binaries" for backward compatibility.

* You can drag the filters - rules - outbox bars".

in my eyes.

None of the three varieties of Gravity would be my first choice of news
client. However, Gravity is Ex shareware now free [donationware], Super
Gravity [donationware] and MP Gravity with it's BSD License,
100% freeware. Two of the three programs are listed at pricelessware,
MP Gravity is not.

Your interpretation of the word "priceless" leaves a lot to be desired.
Thank you for your negative response.

It is *my* interpretation, personal to *me*. You can disagree with it but
you cannot deny me my own interpretation.
Thank you for your negative response.

So touchy. Not connected with the program personally are you Mike?

Note: MP Gravity shares the same source code as G & SG but this is the
open source freeware project released under the BSD license.

Hi Mike,

That's an ACF program page (programs that have been mentioned in ACF).
(Gravity and SuperGravity are not on this year's Pricelessware List.)

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll add MicroPlanet Gravity.
