     @tuttle me too. I heavily depend on it. Can't imagine switching and getting used to something completely different. If things go wrong I hope they'll fork it!

     @lnxw48 They have basically one press release a year. "We have a board!", "Version 8 is out!", "More Enterprise!" etc. Nothing interesting.
