Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

UX = user experience

      Yes, the underlying system is fully open, there are good, healthy alternative client, it’s not a recurrent expense, presumably there’s nothing stopping you using the current version forever.

      As far as closed source goes this is probably as bening as you can get. The only leverage the devs get against you is not updating it.

      In today’s shitware-as-a-service hellscape, this normal deal is now a good deal.

          It was only that price if you managed to buy it immediately after going live. The pricing was adjusted a short while later.
