Sure, doesn't change the fact that switching takes effort, and we lose our comment and post histories. And then we have to rediscover all of our feeds...
Don't get me wrong I hope their development goes well, but I (and I think a lot of people) aren't going to switch just because there's a few new features in PieFed. But who knows, one day that could change.
This is also somewhat true of switching Lemmy instances, but switching to PieFed is far more so due to not only lacking the export+import JSON feature but also the entire model of subscriptions and such is different.
Imho, the feature set makes it worthwhile.
To anyone on the fence I suggest: just make an account, if only to check it out. The signup wizard alone will probably strongly entice you to stay, but if not then no loss.
The important thing is not what platform we all choose to use, but to gain knowledge and experience communicating with one another across the Fediverse:-).
