and our Grumpy Editor did say he was not going to look at commercial products

And with all due respect (which I have), he might have been wrong: at least as far as giving an example for what the standard in the non-free world is.
I have been curious about this for some time.

If you want to look at it, you can download a copy to play with.

Isn't the purpose of a "review" to do exactly this kind of "playing with" the products in the field, thus saving a lot of redundant work by a lot of readers ?

The license states "only for your own personal use", using it to write a review probably is not only for Grumpy Editor's personal use.

Also, I worry about lock-in on programs like that and have no interest in them. Oh, sorry folks we've sold out to the monopoly I'm sure they will meet your future needs.
