Earlier quoted context omitted.

I actually like paying periodically for software that get good upgrades and bugfixes, such as the Jetbrains editors. And getting an over-the-hill Debian CLI VIM user like myself to switch development environments is no easy task, but Jetbrains makes products that good. However, $8 monthly for a notes-taking app? I'm sticking with Org-mode and Evil. I'd consider it for $1 - $2 per month, but $8 is monthly is actually…

Actually -- Jetbrains is a little different, in that you can buy and own the software (effectively). You just have to pay for updates, once your license expires.

True, but I do pay them yearly and I'm more than happy to do so. Even though half the year I'm using the free EAP editions anyway.

What major competitors aren’t amazing and aren’t beautiful?

I agree that there are a lot of great looking apps in the space these days, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we have a lot of users that have come over from other apps in large part because they like how we present things visually!

Yeah, you’re the beholder here. Tell me what you’re beholding.

Not to take a dump on this product in particular but at this point I feel like there are more note-taking apps out there than people willing to pay for a note taking app. Why does everybody and their dog think that competing with the thing that comes with all my devices for free (Apple Notes, Google Keep) is a great business opportunity? I can’t seem to wrap my mind around this.

i think they just want to read people's notes.
