If we want good usability, we need to get open usability testing tools

While such tools can certainly be useful for certain types of studies, I
would have to say we don't *need* them. It's perfectly possible to do
great usability testing without any tools other than your eyes and a
notepad, and in many cases, it's a lot less hassle (not to mention
potentially less intimidating for the participant).
What we certainly *do* need is more people doing more usability testing
with more participants. Fancy tools won't magically make that happen --
we just need to JFDI and share the results :) Once a critical mass of
people are doing that, the requirements for tools will probably fall out
a lot more naturally anyway...
Cheeri,
