If the elastic product were better, they shouldn't have bait-n-switched the licence to non-free.

They would have competed on the merits of the product. Looks like whoever is making these decisions is not familiar with what made them popular with Devs in the first place.

Nah, they compete on merit and they have the clear better product. But AWS has the inertia and massive user base.
