We're going in circles again. We covered all this in the other thread.
I genuinely think it's a perfectly fair deal. It's a fantastic product and it's still pretty cheap: you get all features and exporters, including a build system, for less than the cost of a build system alone (PhoneGap Build). Nobody is completely locked out of their project; it just disables some features (not even all of them; you can still edit layouts and such). We have already talked about how we plan to have a maintenance subscription to help people who just need to do light maintenance so they don't have to go for a full subscription to make changes after their subscription expires.
Since I honestly think this is a fair and reasonable deal, at this point I suspect some people's motivation is only to whip up as much of a frenzy on the forum as possible. If you really think this is an unfair deal and you don't like it, you don't have to buy it. You can go somewhere else. But you might end up with a lesser product that ends up costing more for the same features. It's up to you.
If your only goal is to bring up the same old points we've discussed previously in order to whip up a frenzy, I'm afraid this thread will probably end up locked too.
