I used to be a lot like this. Without trying to demean you, I would suggest stepping down from your awesome bubble and talk to the common people on the ground. The 99.99% of the people are not like us.

Once you learn to listen to them, a whole new world opens up.

About the payment/price; you are lowering the cost of your time way below what you should priced yourself at. Instead of me doing, maintaining, if I can buy time with a subscription the price of a coffee, I'd always go for that and free up my time just to laze around or read something or sleep under a tree. Just imagine that, not worrying if the server I self-hosted on a German ISP will go down because I paid off $9.99 a month. ;-)

This is actually a legitimate concern. Productivity tools are overflowing right now, so the main confusion for us is do we aim to replace your existing notemaking suite or supplement it, For now, why not try out the free beta? Would like to know how/if it works with your workflow.
