Winning what game? I can't find solid numbers about bug-tracker marketshare, but if I type "FogBugz vs" into Google, it throws up Jira as the first result. If I type "Jira vs", FogBuz doesn't show up -- I get Rally, Trello, TFS, Redmine, and Asana first. FogBugz definitely used to have a lot of mindshare, but...

  Yes, that would be Trello, Inc https://trello.com/about https://trello.com/about The fact that FC managed to come up with a successful (but not necessarily profitable) product idea and spin it off into its own company doesn't really say much about the validity of their decisions on a completely different product.

So maybe Fog Creek was correct to take whichever path cost the fewest resources. If it took fewer hours to write and maintain a small transpiler than to re-write the entire application, then that would help profit margins on a product that is not taking over the world anyway.
