Markus, dev tool marketing is very different from OS marketing. The OS marketer must entice devs to the platform to write apps, because app support is what sells OSes. And so as a user you don’t care so much about new features because your apps are already there. Likewise as a Xojo user you may not care as much about new features because your source is already there.
However long term viability of a dev tool company depends on attracting new devs. This is because dev tool selection is a lot more fluid than OS selection. There’s more switching of dev tools then there is between say Mac and Linux OSes. This means to remain viable, a dev tool company must innovate, it’s offerings must not become stale. If it does not, it will not be around to provide ongoing support for its existing customers.
Thus a balance between new features and ongoing support must be struck. The question is where. I and others say Web 1 is still part of the Xojo ecosystem because most Web apps must stay there for a while. That is the reality. My company does not presume to understand what new features should be when because we are not privy to Xojo Inc’s marketing information. What we do know is 2019r3.x is not dead, and still needs and deserves support. That is our argument. The rest is just details.
