Doubling down on a mac only editor seems super weird. At a time when Apples actions seem like they are de-prioritizing the line, Panic are going all in?
It would seem a better investment to make the go to IDE-y thing on iPad Pro.

It seems that (at least up to January 2018) the market for (relatively expensive) pro apps on iPad is just too small.
If this new editor isn't free out of the gate, I am doubtful I'll even try it. I love the stuff of theirs that I own, but I'm not sure I'm willing to gamble on their apps any longer. At least the Mac versions tend to have free trials.
In the age of iCloud, Dropbox, and 200 other services and alternative ways to move stuff, why would one want to use a FTP client (like the Transmit above) on the iPad?
The market for FTP clients is small enough on the desktop...
(Heck, I'm a developer, I have a Transmit license since 2006 or so, I work with dozens of remote machines, and seldom ever use it. It's either sftp on the command line, or something like an Ansible wrapper etc).
Not the kind of mass market app the general iPad users would buy en masse.
The point is that convenient file transfer is a long solved problem with nice foss tools that are never going to stop working because of consumer market shifts.
Nobody is "de-prioritizing the line".
They also have ads about how you can load a eSIM on your Apple Watch and make calls without an iPhone. But they aren't deprioritizing the iPhone any day soon...
