I understand that, sure, but they would have had a lot more support for this editor if it was for Linux. Now I barely ever hear about it at all in the news.
Hot take: but I think it makes sense. If anyone would pay for a closed source editor it’s mac developers hence it made sense to chose that as your first platform to support, especially considering that they are a small startup. I don’t use mac either but I think they made the right choice from a business standpoint when they were still closed source.
Don’t understand why they made it mac only, I don’t think mac users are even aware of other apps than what Apple tells them… :)
It seems that a lot of their responses have been along the lines of: “Well, it’s because I have a Mac. Good luck if you don’t!”

It is open source

Hence the wording, right decision back when they were closed source :)
it only went open-source last week
Well yeah, I guess mac users are more used to paying for things, that’s true.
Apple users think they’re the smartest people on the planet.
