It's incredibly difficult to migrate even engaged users to the new, different app. Apple should really provide a better route for major version upgrades, especially on the Mac App Store.

Mention it and let them make the decision.

If there's anything missing, they'll migrate. If not, they don't need it or don't care about it.

That's what I do every year when I have to renew my JetBrain products.

Do I need it? Will I actively use it? Is it just worth keeping the current version?

I'm not sure how your experience with JetBrains products, which have a dedicated, good flow for easy upgrading thanks to not being limited to the app store, is a good counter to the point that this model could use better support on the app store?
