What you give up either way
- Native polished performance and platform-specific optimizations
- Installer packaging and cross-platform QA for many devices
- Lifetime commercial polish, ongoing free updates and bug fixes from vendor
- Tight UX details (keyboard shortcuts, pinned-window behavior) without extra polish
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Savvyshot, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
