I'm not sure a BASIC compiler at twice the monthly cost of Photoshop is going to fly with anyone, but I'm definitely curious if there's a market out there for i

  I'm curious also, looking at their issue tracking (discord server invite looks like its gone stale... ) it seems like not a lot of interest at the moment. But it is weird how much old VB stuff is out there and because so few people put any effort into the old VB world, I think people would pay a premium for something that's useful. Having said that, their community edition probably would suit nearly everyone. I'm guessing a few people might want cross platform... So not sure how they make money, it seems like they'd need 1000ish customers to make it viable for 2 people. At the moment most of the things that have user counts related to the project (youtube etc) is much much less than that... but, maybe once they have a solid release a lot more people will come out of the woodwork. Anyways, interesting to see how they go.

  The target market is companies that can't afford to migrate away from legacy VB6 applications. This is a very captive audience.

  I couldn’t find the exact license on their site, but it seems the subscription is per developer, not per user of the built executables. In companies that deploy software for hundreds of users, that makes a huge difference.
