If developers are currently using the OpenSource solutions, then they probably work for those people. Who are &quot;you&quot; to question what works for them and what features are a priority to them?<p>Many developers pay for close-source editors and IDEs, and the companies that support&#x2F;develop them aren&#x27;t necessarily going under. Heck <i>BBEdit</i> is still around despite falling out of favour as the de facto MacOS editor years ago.<p>Just within the Python ecosystem there are 2 or 3 IDEs that cater to Python developers despite the number of Python developers that prefer  Vi(m) or Emacs.<p>The idea that developers don&#x27;t or won&#x27;t pay for an editor or that the OpenSource&#x2F;Free alternatives are the equivalent of developers coding in Notepad on Windows just for save a few bucks is a false premise.
