I guess that means it’s dead, as there’s no way a corporation would pay millions to acquire a competitor just to continue developing a free alternative to their own product

    My experience wasn’t as bad, but after the third time the database got corrupted during an upgrade I stopped using it.

      That was my pet peeve too. I installed it some years ago. Months went by, I’ve used it. Then I saw a new version came out. Okay, time to upgrade! Oh, dump the DB, delete everything, install the upgrade and load the DB back? (Or some similar shit.) And do it every time when there is an upgrade? Okay, uninstall it is.

      Eek - I’m trying to host services for family and friends, and while I have raid1, snapshots, 3-2-1 backups, etc I’m still very concerned about having a db or other large data corruption occur.
