I get that Panic is a mac shop, and they make great platform-specific software but...
I recently ditched macos as a dev alongside a handful of my friends. The wall is cracking due to a combination of Apple's poor hardware (mbp kb) and Microsoft's frantic efforts to catch up.
The fact of the matter is that if you work on a team, you probably have a pretty standard set of tools and runtime environment. And, mac only tools exclude both linux and windows users, but also people who have existing configurations.
But the biggest barrier, as I see it, is that there's no midrange space. You have the "low end" of free tools, like vs code, and high end (IdeaJ). I just don't see value in paying for an editor if it doesn't go "all the way".
So yeah, it's easy to armchair strategize, but I just don't see who this is for other than existing coda users. Or maybe, that's enough. They know better than I do, after all.
