While we generally don't mind mentions of competitors, we draw the line at forcefully telling people to go and use other software, for hopefully obvious reasons. (See the Forum & Community guidelines.) Closing this thread.
While I'm here, Construct 2's supported life lasted a decade. That matches what Microsoft does for Windows with thousands of developers all over the world. Construct 2 only ever had just me as the sole developer. I think that's as long a supported life as anybody could reasonably expect.
You don't have to buy Construct 3 if you don't want to. But loads of people do, because it's a great product with absolutely loads of features, including many that even some high-profile competitors are lacking. There's much more to it than "just the event sheet", although that is of course a significant part of it.
