This is why I am very skeptical of (non-open-source) software made by startups.  Often they are not in it to build a sustainable long-term business, but just for an exit, and that almost inevitably means the death of the software.  It&#x27;s as though the software is really just a sort of &quot;corporate resumé&quot; made to support their goal of getting bought out, not really something to be used.<p>Unfortunately, I realize this attitude might make it harder to actually make a sustainable business around solving a non-trivial problem, but as a user I&#x27;ve been burned too many times by companies suddenly getting acquired and then ceasing to exist.
