Post author here: I appreciate all the comments. Even the negative comments because it's important to know all reasons for opposition. I'll point you to another HN story today, ZenPayroll raises $20M [0].
They're not on a path to acqui-hire, they're not trying to pivot away from something you rely on, they have fantastic support (but more importantly a product that's so clear and easy to use you don't really need support).
