So Obsidian gets all the benefits of a thriving ecosystem, makes a lot more money and the plugin creators get none of the benefits? It's a bit unfair isn't it?
Seems totally legitimate to me. The plugin creater has a superb distributed editor with lots of capability that they choose to add to.
I note that obsidian itself is free. I pay for the built-in sync as that's cheaper than implementing it myself, and there are other paths to sending the developers money, but they're all optional.
