Well, you would be wrong in thinking that.
Besides, an application for a patent is not the same as a patent.
That being said...I started designing a system for my own needs and then decided to offer it to others as a secondary thought. If your product is better, which it very well may be, and if you are able to secure a patent on it...Then I would happily congratulate you and wish you the best of luck...Hell, I may even help you promote it.
I honestly don't care about this sort of competition....The bottom line is that our industry needs something like this and I for one think that it's great that some of us are trying to find solutions.
I didn't do it for the money. In fact, one of the options that I am considering is giving it away as a free service and supporting the costs by selling ad space on the site.
