Most features are still free.
And it definitely sucks SOME features went from free to ~$300/y.
Maybe it wouldn't have happened if ALL of its users paid some amount of money to use it. Or even better, it wouldn't have happened if a batch of the free tier users didn't abuse the licensing agreements.
Trust works both ways.
And I completely understand that users may want to move to a different software. But in any case, building software has heavy costs associated with them. Most free and cheaper software would either catch up with the pricing eventually or not have the same features or support to sustain the free tier. Good luck.
