It was a mistake because I bought a high potential keyboard but with zero hands on controls. It was a mistake because of the lack of librarian. It was a mistake because it was not aupported anymore just q few months after release. And now this!!! No more editor available!!!??
I don't know much about how to program the JP50 and how far that is possible on the device itself. On the one hand you are right, Roland should really support their products longer, the JP's were sold until last year or even in 2018! On the other hand after looking at some videos like this

the iPad Editor for the JPs doesn't really do much anyway. OK, more for the JP50 than for the JP80. I also own the Integra and I use
that iPad Editor for selecting sounds, not for editing, cause I find the APP with the tiny "buttons" awkward to use. JP80 iPad App does not come with a Librarian and never did and it was never announced to come with a librarian so I cannot complain.
My goal was - and I still will look into this - to at least find out if the App would work better for editing than the touch display on the 80 and if that would make it more fun for me to program that beast.
I also own a lot of Roland gear, D550 (had the D50) JP8000 and some MKS. I never really bothered about updates because there
were no or little software updates (wow, just checked there was a 1.05 update for the JP8000 ) with new features and stuff. What you buy is what you get ;) So maybe we are kinda spoiled nowadays...
