alt Hacker News> They are open source developers, giving away free software as a gift. There is no duty here.
But actually there is! They didn't start from scratch. They took another very successfull and beloved project with the promise "to make it better". There is some promise here and the duty not to make it worse.

It would be really surprising if they could make it better for literally every user. The perpetual undo is just better handled by git.

And this obligation lasts… for the rest of their lives?
"Better" is subjective. They made it better...for themselves. Then gave it away so people who share their opinion, had the opportunity to choose to use it.
