I remember Magic Fields has downloaded more 140,000 times (between the two versions), MF has almost 7 years now, the active installs data I'm afraid I don't remember, in the two last years I only have received two donations. One of them was for helped with a problem with permission/htaccess.
When a user contacts me by email, I try to find time to help. Sometimes they want some code/feature/update/review and they are willing to pay for that.
I would like to spend more time to MF, but I need to pay the bills :s.
I would like with MF, I want to create a form for ask to the users what they want from MF
