Pixelmator is 40 bucks, in what universe where someone who has the money to buy a Mac considers $40 for a professional application expensive?
I thought Pixelmator's audience was general public and I think it does an excellent job at it.
Perhaps Affinity series are targeted for professional and they're also one time purchase of something like $50. Great value.
And worth every penny IMHO. For me it hits the sweet spot between a massive feature filled Adobe product and struggling with e.g. Gimp for simple creation of icons.
Sublime Text isn't expensive and I think others could learn from the creators how to deal with people who don't have money (yet) to pay for it.
Yes, the real open web is a magical place of rainbows, unicorns, and developers surviving on the power of friendship.
sigh I can remember a time when this was the glorious reality. I'd take spinning guitar gifs, midi music, and marquee over today's web and all its crap.
Why did I suddenly have a flashback to Netscape?
