Yes on that I agree of course. We have a few keyboard warriors who feel brave enough to criticize the work of others from their couch.Well, the open-source link is actually outdated (3 years ago), this is not the latest 1.5.5 version.
Probably also the reason why no one seems to have picked it up, because people know that there's also a newer version released with a lot of features that would then be missing on the older open source version.
Version 1.5.5 was released 22 month ago, though. Since then, I think the dev has done some minor bugfixes without increasing the version number, but I'm sure there hasn't been much updates since about a year. I think the dev needed some out-time and also some distance from nagging online forum users. I mean, if you are a dev and you put your products out there in the open, it's really hard to not let the negativity of forums like KVR affect you negatively. If you are not very robust in some senses, I think it can even be clearly bad for your mental health and happiness.
Somehow even when it is donation some people feel they own the dev.
But there is a difference between criticising the dev and saying that vital being abandonware is sad. Such a great product...
