I'm a huge crafter. I discovered the Cricut Explore Air in 2015, and have been doing crazy fun stuff with crafting gadgets ever since.
I currently have several Cricut machines. While I am very disappointed with the company's more recent business practices1), they still make a superior product, so they've still got my business. For now.
Thankfully, they still listen to their existing customers enough to recognize when it's time to admit defeat2).
