why no programming?
because that can be done thru high-end programs like TraderWareX, TradeLab,
or if one is good at programming, then the UMDS SDK is an excellent choice
..
plus - with programming capabilities, I think $99 will not cover the cost,
probably way more than that.

so, is programming capability necessary?
maybe, maybe not - depending on whether you know what you are looking for
:)
I always say know the stats before talking about system twisting :)

my in-house tools are not programmable - as the most important things are
wired into the programs already ... must take them out :)

some one also mentioned that asking $99 is too expensive because 
quote.com can do that already ...
well, I did say free for some basic configuration ... didn't I?

my intention is more bias towards having a basic tool available for more 
people :)

for high-end tools, lets wait for Mark Brown's Traderware :)
