I use photopea every day. I can only imagine the complex emotions you're going through. I am not nearly as attached to my software, I imagine, just because of how "unimportant" it is.

I am still very attached to it though. For no good reason other than "it's mine", I think.

Isn't it a good thing software can't be closed? We have to use someone's tool though, and ego is inevitable, so idk? 100s of separate "open source" versions and people use what they think is the best?

Is it just about accountability? and having an author/human attached to the product to direct it? Choosing the person you have the most faith in?
