I own Pepper :-)
I know that when Maarten was developing it there was some attitude, as you say. I think Maarten really wanted to succeed and make the best editor out there. Pepper was amazing, thus why I bought the source. Maarten is a fantastic person. We still e-mail periodically. Being a one man indie-dev is hard. Especially when you support many platforms. I think it just got to be to much.
This is partially the reason I stopped development too. 200+ e-mails a day, sales were ok but not enough to quit my job or pay anyone, sales through PayPal and Kagi turning up with stolen credit cards and Paypal and Kagi taking money back from me.
I still use Pepper daily and add new features. I could surely give Sublime and Atom a run for their money. Pepper does a lot more than it used to and you can even write plugins to enhance it.
