Dear Developers, if you go to a subscription model, I find an alternative to your software.

This guy gets it. Anyone droning on about why you should want a subscription is a lemming.  I'd rather buy a product then basically lease it.  I might not want next years version, maybe they removed a feature, maybe a feature sucks.  How about rather then the strawman argument of subscription versus payment, we all agree that maybe a lot of developers need to get their shit together, make a product that works and maybe develop a loyal following through good customer service.  Then people will buy your products.  That's literally how iPhones are marketed.  If you do quality work, people come back.  It's why Adobe can go bankrupt for all I care, I'm willing to buy a product, I'm NOT willing to just hand you money for incremental adjustments or features.  If that makes you unhappy, find another job.  It's a product, not a charity.
