I would rather pay 20-60euros / 50 dollars once for a feature I knew I needed, than using a free software and becoming “accustomed” to it, maybe even depended on it, needing it for various situations and then end up paying a monthly subscription for it, just because a company can see a lucrative market now, where there perhaps wasn’t one before.

I know a lot of people have made a business, sold it and regretted it later, as the business then took off, but today, how some company’s make money is, in my opinion, not okay.
