Vertically centering glyphs
Fontforge doesn't currently have a way to vertically center glyphs - in the script I'm currently working with, all glyphs should be vertically centered, so this is very inconvenient. I saw that there was one open issue on this very topic - but the last activity was in 2016, so I don't think it'll get added anytime soon. Instead, I decided to spend some hours on tripping over my skills to read the documentation.

The End of Type 1
You are but, as of today, reliably, only via the GUI, and therefore, one by one, not in batches via scripting due to a bug[1]. That is the case at least for Type 1 Mac fonts.

SN Pro – a free, open-source font designed for Markdown
Although we had never designed a font before, we had extensive experience using Figma to create our app's user interface, custom icons, and svgs over the past few years. Recognizing that creating a font from scratch would be a daunting task, we opted to adapt Nunito.
To re-design and create our own stamp on the typeface, we chose Glyphs [1], a beautifully crafted and meticulously planned program. Over the course of several months, we carefully reconsidered each character, adjusting cap heights, and refining kerning (the spacing between characters).

Adobe Gives Up on Web-Design Product to Rival Figma After Deal Collapse
I agree that 150usd might be too cheap for pro market but like i mentioned maybe they found out they need to first go for amateurs. Who knows maybe they will make it more expensive in future or offer some kind of pro option.
I also have to mention maybe your expectations are a bit skewed? Software dev got cheaper and not everything has to be breakneck hype venture capital squeeze. There is type design software Glyphs (https://glyphsapp.com/) used by basically every typedesigner now. It costs 300usd and it is very complex. But they seem to be doing OK. Its so niche compared to Affinity that there is maybe 5% of potential customers?
