It's long past due that we should move to software which isn't maintained - because there's nothing to do. Adding features could be done either by writing a new one - because the requests don't really fit the meaning of old one, the creators saw that and rejected; fixing bugs - yes, fixing bugs may remain, but are there many bugs in, say, TEX code?
We don't yet know how to write a completed software well - the one which isn't updated on Github for years yet nobody calls it stale or outdated.
- akrain 6y agoI know at least one software that was complete - hasn'tbeen updated in a long time and I still useit. It's Winamp.
- shurane 6y agoI think video games fit in the area of 'completed software'. Most video games today rarely see updates a few years after they're released. And older video games were on read only mediums, so you would hope whatever you release is very stable and feature complete.
