It's very hard to compete with the massively-token-subsidized big players when our entire team is spending nearly 20x the claude code subscription cost in API token usage - it's impossible for anyone else to do it without eating huge losses.

Junie - their coding agent - was also a miss. I've had Rider for almost 10 years currently - but considering dropping it. Tradcoding is basically dead, and a lightweight text editor with tree-sitter has come a long way - and it's good enough to read/micro edit with anyway.

I feel bad for them as it's been such a stable product for decades of excellent development, but the world moves on.
