Doesn't sound like a winning strategy long-term. From other comments it sounds like they are focusing entirely on customers that are already locked in with them. Eventually though, those customers are either going to go out of business as all businesses eventually do, or they are going to have to move on to other tools eventually. If community edition is never updated, IDK how they can expect to grow or gain new customers. Thats why Visual Studio updates their community edition so often, because that helps people get familiar with the tools and companies are more likely to adopt them.
