Software today is worse in every possible way. Subscription solicitation is one such dimension.

BBEdit, Sublime et al. are beacons of what software quality, distribution and pricing ought to be.

three quarters of the saas industry is built around such made-up needs. Not much to be proud of there with a handful of exceptions.

as for price, it feels 100% fair to bleed your enterprise customers to subsidize individual customers.
