For myself, I feel entitled to quoting Mae West: "Goodness had nothing
to do with it, dearie."  While my life style still is somewhat lacking
in open extravagance compared to that of the bejeweled character played
by Ms West, monetary contributions from LilyPond lovers allow me to play
all day and night with, well, LilyPond.

Part of what makes this possible is the text nature of LilyPond: this
makes it possible to swap authoritive experience over a text-based
medium like this mailing list.  That's definitely harder to do where a
GUI-entry program is involved.
