Looks really nice, and it's cool to see something like this implemented in reason (OCaml really), but I don't see $35 worth of value compared to VSCode or MacVIM.

If you're going to stare at your editor much of every workday, does the price really matter that much? Even if it only makes you a bit happier than alternatives do, the price difference per hour used will be tiny.

I'd wager most software developers can shell out $35 on a whim.

Right, we figured if it can save you just a few hours of configuration, it's paid for itself.

Yeah $35 is nothing really. If I end up using it I'd gladly pay that to support them, even if I don't use it commercially.

Look at what something like Visual Studio or IntelliJ cost for a commercial license :D This is nothing.
