Ulysses has a custom markdown feature that I thought was great. The only problem was that you couldn't use it without opting in to use their own file based storage schema. So if you wanted to store your writings in "regular" files and sync them yourself etc., you couldn't use the custom markdown feature.
I thought this was absolutely ridiculous since the custom markdown would have simply gotten written as plain text. I asked why they're limiting the user like that and got even more ridiculous response: apparently they didn't want other people to get confused in case I ever shared the files that were outside their own file based schema. This non sequitur infuriated me enough to ditch the software.
None of it made any sense until they announced the subscription model.
