I'm currently looking at purchasing a commercial product because CodeSquish has a fatal error and hasn't been updated in two years because the guy who maintains it has vanished off the face of the earth.

Have you considered paying a developer to fix the bug? It might be less hassle.

  > the guy who maintains it has vanished off the face of the earth How would you pay such a person?

    It's open source — many developers would be willing to take on the work. Start by asking those who have contributed before, and any that use the software (if there's a forum, mailing list, Reddit sub etc). If it's on GitHub look at any forks.
