One could argue that the same risk applies for almost every piece of software, be it proprietary or free.
Vendors are killing their applications all the time.
- theshrike79 5y agoYes, but if the developer is motivated by money they are more likely to keep their product updated. Many (not all) small/medium open source projects just fizzle out when the main dev moves on and doesn't dogfood their own product any more.
