I reaaaly hoped they would have survived longer. I used it a few times and its a huge improvement to fc, and as far as I know the team contributed quite a lot to essential improvements to get fc to v1.0 Fc is still a difficult software to use, and I wished ondsel could continue to improve it in the correct direction. But well, maybe it will get better soon. I'm thankful for their work either way
I had tried FC a few times previously, and wasn't able to make it work for me, but I'm actively using the newest release candidate now. I think it's finally over the hump where a lot more people are going to start adopting it. That should fuel continued development.
