Right, but by choosing to go keyboard-focused it's competing in a space with very feature-rich Vim and Emacs plugins (and users who want to work out of those) that are free.

Even the Sublime users have lots of options already. Sublime is ALSO a very capable text editor and $100.

The OP is likely trying to deliver something like Superhuman ($30/month) - speed and keyboard focused-email - but for todos. I would imagine there is very little overlap between that market and people who use vim or emacs + plugins.

Fair, though I do think there's value you might be discounting here that ISN'T keyboard shortcuts. The market isn't all vim/emacs users, it's complex Omnifocus-style todo app users, who are frustrated with the lack of keyboard support in those apps. These users are more comfortable with this price point than you may expect (IMO) but will need feature parity for things like OmniFocus perspectives/floating timezones/easy outlining.

A CLI app is not something I would want to use for something I touch every 30minutes, every day, from many devices. But I do use vim for text editing.

I'm not saying the market isn't there, I'm just saying don't act surprised when you get very valid criticisms expressing sticker shock.

Emacs users have Org Mode and MobileOrg and can store the sync data somewhere they have full control over.

OF keyboard support is fine - and I say it as an ex-emacs and current neovim user who works in terminal. It does not look that stellar but is well thought out and I am faster with kb in OF than I was in org-mode.
