I was very surprised to read this and from a quick Google search, what you imply ("don't do well in the long run") is not supported by that "half-life" statistic.
"We show that the typical half-life of a publicly traded company is about a decade, regardless of business sector. [...] While liquidation is often responsible for firm deaths, a much more common cause of death relates to the disappearance of companies through mergers and acquisitions. Thus, in our definition, firms may ‘die’ through a variety of processes: they may split, merge or liquidate as economic and technological conditions change."

Sounds like all other editors were slow compared to Cider.
Wrong. Every advancement has followed a s curve. Where we are on that curve is anyones guess. Or maybe "this time its different".
That's the first sentence from your link. Clearly people don't treat this org, literally called "good will", the same as they treat freakin eBay.
Some, hopefully constructive, feedback:
- You mention "other games" several times. It would be so much more interesting to read, if you named them. Your readers may know that game but have no knowledge about those under the hood details. Like the user wordpad, I immediately thought about Planetary Annihilation when I saw rollback and multiplayer.
- Your landing page needs an easy to grasp "About" / "What is this" section. I'm more or less familiar with several popular game engines (Unity, HL, Source, Unreal, Godot, Spring etc) and never heard of yours before. Even after clicking around a bit on your website, I still had almost no idea what your engine (or is it a language?? [1]) can, and more importantly, can not do. I mostly went by the screenshots of the game examples shown and concluded that it is a 2D engine with simple graphics. Wikipedia [2] and web search were not that helpful either, so I had to resort to an LLM [3].
[1] https://easel.games/docs/learn/key-concepts "Easel is a unique programming language with some unusual features." [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easel [3] https://search.brave.com/ask says "No, Easel is not a 3D game engine. It is a web-based game engine specifically designed for creating 2D multiplayer games without the developer needing to code the networking or server infrastructure"
