She clearly underestimated the depth of unhappiness that many are feeling.

Poor girl. She has been thrown to the lions. But hey she is VP of marketing. I am pretty sure she has her pockets full of VC money

oh yeah. Canāt fault Bubble for trying to increase profits. Thatās what most startups do. it still stings though when they initially catered to individual builders and now they are progressively moving more to enterprise pricing.
They might be charging enterprise fees but I cant think of many well run enterprises that would lock in to a provider to such a big extent. This is proof of what happens when a business bases itself on a platform thatās difficult to get out of.
They do it all the time. Itās why companies like ServiceNow, Salesforce, and Outsystems are so large.
Lonngg time Bubble user here. 
Just joined Wappler. Already enjoying it so far.
I already recognize so many usernames here from years ago haha.

Enterprises play in another league. They would never go into monthly or annual contracts. They would make sure their cost is fixed or predictable for those 5 or 10 years. And if someone tried to bubble them they can easily throw thousands into legal to make sure they come out on top.
Speaking of lock-insā¦itās funny to see all these bubblers freaking out with forks and pitches, looking for alternatives between all of them, andā¦yeahā¦you guessed itā¦ threatening to lock themselves into another platform

Ok so real question, am I locking myself into Wappler?
Could a developer use the files that Wappler outputs to further develop things if there was no Wappler anymore?
Yes. Think of Wappler as an advanced IDE which generates code that can RUN anywhere and can be EDITED by anyone.

Iām a 7-year Bubbler and Iāve tried Wappler before. The learning curve is steep because weāre coming from a completely non-developer background and trying to learn basic development concepts as well as the tool itself.
What would be great is if some hero could step forward whoās good at Bubble and great at Wappler to provide some live training sessions (could be paid) to welcome Bubble asylum seekers.
This community has been known to be unwelcoming to Bubblers and nocoders. Letās change that today in the spirit of friendship and a big opportunity to grow the Wappler fan base.

This will be a game changer. Someone knowledgeable of both worlds. Iām also an ex-bubbler looking for alternative.
My options are wappler and flutterflow. But now leaning more on wappler, only down side is learning materials.
Yes. An experienced developer could work with both frameworks App Connect(frontend) and Server Connect(backend).
There are a lot of bubblers here. Where did you get that from? 
Thatās completely not true. There are many ex-Bubbler that came here recently or came 3-4 years ago like me.
As long as you are respectful of others, others will be respectful to you.
Iām just reporting the experience of other Bubble users Iāve talked to who like me tried to break into Wappler and gave up when they found little in the way of good A-Z tutorials and saw little to no Wappler beginners getting support in the community forum.
If that perception is wrong, thatās great and I think a lot of people here will be looking forward to learning.
Wellā¦perception is subjective. Probably whoever told you that feels that way. Wappler is not for everybody but those that stick donāt go back. And among those there are a lot of exBubblers.
