It's a shame Typora doesn't spend a little time editing their site copy English. I could tell right away the creator isn't a native English speaker, but he could probably get someone in the Typora community to give the copy a once-over.

If the tools provides good value, charging for it should be OK as long as it is reasonable. The caveat I place is that the data should not held hostage.
It has recently added file list preview and tree view like functionality. Only missing on tags which are tricky because they break its pure markdown flat file philosophy.
