> I feel bad for them because they seem like some of the better actors in the dev tool space. They make quality products and seem to care about users a lot.

I dunno, they always seemed like rent-seekers to me, given they have subscriptions to use their tooling, instead of "Here, buy my tool and use it", that seems user-hostile to me if anything.

> Capitalism has a lot of innocent victims

Huh? Maybe I'm too "capitalism-averse" as I never really liked it, but "victims"? The system is setup so companies that earn more money "conquer" and take over the market and everyone else falls behind them and many companies fold because of this effect. But they're more like "losers" than "victims" as everyone is willingly participating in this system, they're not exactly innocent bystanders who were unrelated.
