Bundle value aside, surely you're going to want to use apps that have had some
time and care invested in them - and generally that means you're going to have
pay for them, as someone had to spend that time and care on them and if they
are doing that as their job, they're going to need to get compensation from
it. Shareware is just a form of distribution and a useful one for authors
with minimal resources and time for marketing (assuming the software is
well written, naturally)

If you're using software enough to get annoyed by the frequency of nagging in
nagware for example, then you're probably using it enough to warrant paying for
it.
