    I think EN is too expensive, compared to other options, to ever make a comeback. I often wonder how things would have played out if they had not started as a (for most practical purposes) free product. If the vast majority of their users had been paying something like $10/year from the beginning, where would EN be today? I think they gave away too much at the start and are paying for it now.

     

    Do you have some special insight into their Balance Sheet? I'm intrigued as to where you get this insider knowledge...

  2. oh the drama in here...

    If the feature you really need isn't supported on the new apps then stay on the legacy apps until it is or until you know it definitely won't be or until you've found another better option that meets you use case.

    There won't be any refunds, they aren't going to stop developing v10, they'll ship the features that give them the most bangs per buck the quickest.

  3. At a guess, it's a feature that's used by a very small percentage of users and so hasn't been prioritised. Best bet is to stick with the old version for the time being. If it's a key feature for you and they decide not to bring it back then it's time to take you $$s elsewhere.

  4. It seems pretty well known (it's certainly being discussed on other well know internet discussion places) that there are beta clients being used on a number of platforms.

    My guess is that they'll run betas till they are happy enough to release clients to the entire user base. Whilst they may have some sort of plan for this, it's really a how long is a piece of string question?

    If you want to see where they are up to I suggest you apply to join one of the beta programs or just carry on using the software that again I'm guessing already works very well for you.

    I'll be impressed if they pull it off. I've not heard of any other app capable of storing so much data using an Electron framework. Seems like they'll be pushing web technologies to their limits, but good for them if they can make it work at a high level of performance/quality.

     

    Get yourself on the preview and give it a go - the NDA prevents anyone from saying anything else.

    Oh I'm aware that some kind of local data caching will remain, but will the heavy users be able to continue keeping their 25GB+ database 100% synced using the new client? Color me skeptical, but perhaps you know something I don't.

    I've seen nothing to indicate that they won't.

    The preview team have said that local storage will be supported, I've seen nothing contrary to that unless I count your scepticism and guessing.
