Gus Mueller of Flying Meat software, maker of popular apps like VoodooPad and FlySketch, has decided to reduce FlyGesture's price to free. For those who haven't seen it: FlyGesture enables your Mac with the power to open files, run Automator apps/AppleScripts, type text and more - all with the gesture of your mouse over FlyGesture's guide layer that you can toggle like Exposé and Dashboard.
For anyone who made a FlyGesture purchase within the last 60 days, Mueller has issued a refund.

No wonder it's free. I'm sitting here moving my finger all over my trackpad trying to get different things to occur and my Mac is just staring back at me, like I'm an idiot. The app doesn't work!

@1:...my Mac is just staring back at me, like I'm an idiot.
Those are the key words. FlyGesture needs the commands made over a guide layer, which is called up via a keyboard shortcut. You can't just wave your mouse (or trackpad, as the situation is) and expect it to work.
It works perfectly for me, but I don't really think I'll use it much - I'm too addicted to Quicksilver.

My only problem with this software, is that sometimes, the easiest mouse gesture is down to the dock. ;)

This is great. Hope this trend make Scolari´s notion about transparency on interfaces not a real barier.

That's cool he made it free. I tried it out and it was decent...I really really prefer xGestures though ( http://alum.hampshire.edu/~bjk02/xGestures/ ) because it lets you draw gestures as wide as you want, like all-in-one gestures (firefox extension) does. It also allows system-wide rocker gestures, which rock (stupid pun not intended)!

Seems kinda silly to have to memorize obscure gestures for different apps. I'd rather just use my keyboard and QuickSilver...

Of course you can trigger single commands with normal key commands. This lets you chain multiple commands together.
