We’ve used Editorially from day one on The Sweet Setup. Its editing and collaboration tools are excellent, and this news has bummed Shawn, Jeff and I out big time.
That said, I’m not surprised.
From the FAQ:
WHY NOT JUST CHARGE FOR USE?
We thought of that, and in fact, it was always our plan to do so. But Editorially is a sophisticated application that requires a team of engineers to maintain and develop. Even if all of our users paid up, it wouldn’t be enough.
I want to pay for things, but sadly, I fear I’m in the minority.
