Used lunchmoney for years before moving to CoPilot couple of years ago. Can vouch for both of them to being great. I just moved to CoPilot because they got macos and ios apps unlike lunchmoney (web only back when I used it)

Ten cheap yet great fountain pens from my experience:

- Platinum Preppy/Prefounte/Plasir ($3-$20)

- TWSBI ECO ($30-$50)

- Pilot Metro/Cavalier ($20-$50)

Cheap and OK pens (I found these better for drawing than writing):

- Lamy Safari/Al-Star ($20-$50)

- Kaweco Sport Classic ($20 -- )

'Affordable' Gold Nib pens (These aren't necessarily 'better' but writing experience is different(softer feel) which some people prefer)

- Pilot Elite 95S ($80-$100)

- Pilot Decimo/Capless ($115-$160)

All prices are from online stores available in US.

Print ads are so much better than online ads though. - Print ads generally don't break reading lines as most of them are generally between articles or between pages - Print ads don't move.

There are multiple moving ads in between paras of a long form online articles which is a much worse experience than reading the same article in print.

Confluent Cloud is pay by usage (per GB in, per GB out, per GB stored), so its much pricier based on your org's usage. However, it is definitely feature rich.

- Doesn't expose metrics via JMX but does provide a nice tool called confluent control center for monitoring and managing kafka cluster - Built in and Managed Schema Registry

but - AFAIK they won't reveal cluster size or cluster version (except client compability). So, they do scaling and upgrades automatically. It's a double edged-sword but should work for lot of orgs.

- Overall, definitely a better product than aws msk.

Their "managed" kafka service is even bigger clusterfuck

- Doesn't expose metrics via JMX port

- Doesn't support version upgrade

- Doesn't support schema versioning afaik

- Doesn't support adding a node or two to an existing cluster

I could go on...
