Is this really dependent on any particular Lion feature? I was about to buy it but I'm still on 10.6.8 (never bothered to update to Lion because of the myriad annoying new 'features').

tl;dr: if you can make it work in 10.6.8, I think you might get some more $love$ from some of us.

If you're feeling adventurous, I've heard success stories from people manually hacking the Info.plist on the direct download version.

It currently doesn't require any Lion specific APIs, but I plan on updating it in the future to make use of the nice flocking icons while dragging, and that will require Lion.

I'll try the plist hack! Thank you for the tip. I think I can live without the flocking icons, but I suppose it's about freaking time I update my OS :)

Done. Here, have my money! :)

How'd you do it?
