Good for you!

I don't use anything from pro and I use datastar at work. I do believe in making open source maintainable though so bought the license.

The pro stuff is mostly a collection of foot guns you shouldn't use and are a support burden for the core team. In some niche corporate context they are useful.

You can also implement your own plugins with the same functionality if you want it's just going to cost you time in instead of money.

I find devs complaining about paying for things never gets old. A one off life time license? How scandalous! Sustainable open source? Disgusting. Oh a proprietary AI model that is built on others work without their consent and steals my data? Only 100$ a month? Take my money!
