I've been a paying user since 2015. This makes me sad, as it's one of my most beloved utilities and this isn't a good look. I'll keep running it without updating until it stops working or I find a replacement that I like. Also:

It is and it isn't. Apple isn't the best at managing development resources, so they seem to get stretched kinda thin when they take on too many projects. I know they have all the money in the world. That doesn't make them effective at managing many teams on many projects. They're already falling on their face on some of their software goals, at least from the outside. I'm happy enough for third-party devs to fill in niche features so long as Apple doesn't block them from doing so.
