That's OK in menus and the OS in general but if you're working on a web app or big form tabbing through it can be a PITA.

Then don't buy it. Not everything in the world needs to be made free just for you.
Nah, this is a very good point; I've seen things similar to this in the past and it's a cool idea -- but "subscription modeling" every little tool is not a good path to keep going down. Free and open source is important and it's perfectly fine to be critical here.

I agree that I would never pay a subscription fee for any kind of system functionality, but there is a lifetime purchase option available, so there is no grounds to critique that here. Having extra payments models available in addition to a regular purchase model does not make a product worse.
