You are using the word vaporware in a very odd way. Vaporware is stuff that won't actually come into existence. Vivaldi has already been publically available for nearly a year.
- gkya 10y agoSorry, yes, I intended "software that'll become useless, unmaintained and outdated rather quickly".
- Guest98123 10y agoAbandonware.
- Elv13 10y agoThat's pre-abandonware
- StavrosK 10y agoI.e. "software".
- Karunamon 10y ago<snark>If I had a penny for every useless, unmaintained, and outdated open source project...</snark>
- vortico 10y ago...you'd have more pennies than me if I had a penny for every unmaintained commercial software.
- vortico 10y agoWhoops, meant to say "fewer" but now I can't edit. I just negated my point.
- executesorder66 10y agoThe great thing about useless, unmaintened, and outdated open source projects, is that anyone can pick it up, and turn it into a useful, maintained and updated project. If it was a closed source project you'd have to start from scratch every time if you wanted to restart the project.
- bigbugbag 10y agoThis is quite a bold statement to make. Instead of anyone you should have said someone, particularly someone with a large amount of money, free time and will, in other words very few people. Depending on the size and complexity of the project it could be too much for a single someone to attempt. It is not unheard of that someone tried and abandoned but would probably have achieved their goal by starting from scratch rather that attempting to revive an outdated unmaintained project.
