#2Well that's gone to hell then. I've dealt with Telerik lots over the years and have nothing pleasant to say about the experience.

Let's hope it doesn't go the way of Reflector.

They say web debugger will remain free, so will be able to see http traffic from that free version? What will offer paid version?

#8I'm surprised by the HN response -- from what Eric says, this is the first opportunity he'll have to work on Fiddler full-time. Surely that's a good thing? Even assuming Telerik will interfere with his work "a la Yahoo", he will still be able to dedicate more time to Fiddler than he'd have had in his old job.

#9I have no idea what Telrik is like. But I do know Eric - he's incredibly committed. Fiddler was a side project for him, written during his meager free-time when not working his full-time gig as a PM at Microsoft. The fact that it's made it this far is a testament to him and his commitment to making the web a better place.
So - I have a hard time believing he's going to let Fiddler fall apart. If anything, he's finally getting an opportunity to make it his priority, and with an actual development team backing him, I'm actually excited to see how far he can push Fiddler.
tl;dr - I don't have faith in Telrik. I do, however, have faith in Eric.

If it's any consolation, Redgate were the ones that locked down reflector. In fact Telerik released their own free decompiler as a response to Redgate's actions (though I haven't used it - the commercial version of reflector is rather nice).
Fiddler is a wonderous tool, yet in need of some UX enhancements, so I'm hopeful that this change proves fruitful for both the free tool and whatever Telerik ends up doing to monetize the product.
