What I don't get about this is that it looks like there are decent open-source alternatives to all of the services mentioned. The most egregious example is the markdown editor. There are lots of free, open-source markdown editors out there. Why would you vibe-code your own? Just because you can?
This is what confused me too. Why are people paying for these types of things? They don't need vibe coding, they need a search engine. Ironically I'm confident the LLMs could find them a free version of what they're looking for. But that's the problem with them, right? They do what you ask and don't question if there's a better way
For the same reason that there are already lots of markdown editors out there. Why didn't the they all use the first one that came out?
