Will they?
If your users are programmers, they might love you for that.
For pretty much all other users, they will want more. "It would be great if your app did...". I would argue that users now expect software to change and add more features.
And why wouldnt they, when pretty much all software they use is doing this? If your app isnt growing and changing, to users it way well look dead: "It's abandonware".
- icebraining 9y agoThat's actually not my experience; I see people using "old" software all the time, and rarely looking for newer alternatives even if they feel that some things could be added or improved. As just an example, my mother still uses ATnotes - last released in 2005. And I think the limited data we have shows that, like the number of people who upgraded their browsers before it was automatic.
