I have a strong policy of not using tools that prioritize themselves over me. Everyone’s time is valuable, and I have better things to do than sit on the phone screwing with activation problems or being forced to discontinue my work because I lack an Internet connection. First thing your app does is present a login screen instead of creating a usable window? Won’t work without an Internet connection? Error messages that default to “accusing me” instead of “helping me”? Upgrades that mysteriously fail to support older file formats? If so then sorry, I am completely reworking my environment to never use your stuff again.
