Let’s be fair. Xojo Inc ist not Apple. Big companies screw their users also all the time (see VisualStudio for Mac @Microsoft).
The main issues were:
- they promised to make Web 1 migratable to Web 2
- Web 2 was far from beeing mature (it now becomes more and more)
- they promised to still “support” Web 1 but they didn’t made it clear enough what that meant (it means they help, but they don’t update anything anymore)
- they dint’t took complains serious enough (now they do seemingly) which has hurt the community heavily.
To all of you running a Web 1 application:
- get rid of it as soon as you can. Use Web2 or what ever else fits to you.
- If you can’t afford this, pray for that your application will continue to work in future browsers but be prepared that it will stop working in a future.
- When the 2019 IDE doesn’t work anymore in future OS, hope that Xojo finds ways or is willing to fix this (I hope this too)
- meanwhile, and I can’t stress this enough, rewrite your fking application
