> Why then does nobody seems to think there's an upside to the acquisition? The examples are endless. Keybase, Winamp, Trello (to a lesser extent), MySQL/OpenOffice, the recent drama surrounding the addition of telemetry into Audacity, anything folded into the core product of some tech giant two years after the acquisition when the core stakeholders from the original team left. In short, it's rare for an acquisition to work out well in the long term, so it's understandable to be very sceptical of them.
