Quite sad to see them go, too. There were a lot of interesting products to work on and a great community. And being rewarded with parts of the company is such a great idea. I guess they were missing profitable companies. There were a lot of great ideas, but they never turned into something big. EDIT: I have to admit I haven't been to their site for a few months. They apparently removed the profit sharing part. Which IMHO was their main value preposition. I guess it's a huge PITA to handle the legal stuff of it. But collaborating on open source projects is possible on GitHub alone, so why add Assembly to the mix. And in the end money rules the world, so getting a part of a company is a stronger incentive than just working on an open source project for fun/your CV.
