I don't have a problem with occasionally spending a little real $$ for the FT application since I don't do movies, pay-for-view television (and have the least expensive cable TV package available not being much into watching television), go to concerts, and rarely buy DVD's or CD's. FT is a relatively cheep alternative to enjoy in the evenings while listening to the radio, a change of pace from reading which I also like.
However, the recent design style change does take a little away from the pleasure I have in designing FT layouts. I may not be old, but I'm not a 10 year old either so buildings that look like something out of a Disney film don't especially appeal.
Oh, well, guess if I do get some of the newer facilities I'll just have to do as I did with the garish juice factory -- disguise them with trees. A shame really since the concept of small businesses adjacent to a farm makes sense and adds interest to the game.
