Yes. It depends what you compare it with.

Tend to agree with you — but I still find it unacceptable to receive notification "ads" for upsells or plugins in a devtool.

I prefer zero-distractions in devtools, and this was the case mostly for a very long time.

Good point.

Not dismissing JetBrains — I was a happy paying customer for over a decade. :)

They're struggling to keep up with a rapidly evolving devtools market.

Thankfully, I / Tusk has no commercial obligations — so I can make it exactly to my liking and taste.
