I don't know, what the problems of some people with Elementor are about. Elementor is an amazing tool. I purchased a Pro license in 2016, before it was finally released. I never regretted it and I honestly don't see a tool that is head to head with Elementor. Yes, it is not perfect. WP is far away from being perfect. And if Elementor becomes a stand alone Software, I am in for it. I am always open for new deveplopments.

Elementor can change it plans as it wants. No one is forced to used it. I have not lost any feature in my existing account since 2016. I still have my 1.000 Activations and pay 100$ a year.

If you have problems with Elementor, just don't use it.
