Didn't downvote you, but this is essentially why I have no desire to build anything for programmers - unless I happen to need it for myself, then I casually open source it (rarely actively maintained as soon as I stop needing it). I go to _fantastic_ lengths to not pay for software, to mostly use software I could theoretically contribute to, or even to not have to deal with learning new tools. I even built my own accounting system (based on Ledger though). We're an insanely tough crowd to monetise, I suppose. At least some of us. Meanwhile, prosumer software in other areas seems to be doing quite well, happy users, decent income for the developers and all.
