Compared to what products supporting so many platforms with a commercial quality IDE, and regular updates?

Can you find even a single competitor?

Who cares about competitors when you barely have any market share for yourself? You can be the greatest IDE in the world, but if barely anybody is using you how great are you really?

The fact that their lowest pricing tier ties the apps to the account is bonkers too. If that account lapses in payment, any apps built by the account cease functioning. Not even Apple is that brazen if your developer account lapses.

That is because that account is for learning and building stuff for your own usage. If your objective is to ship software, you're supposed to go with a standard license. Apps built with them don't have such checks in place.
