BladeEnc Development Officially Discontinued

skojt writes: "I saw on the Swedish site gnuheter.org that Tord Jansson has announced that he discontinues development of BladeEnc. He says that he is tired of lawyers, that Lame does a better job for the average user and that Ogg Vorbis is a better choice." BladeEnc fans need not worry too much, though -- Jansson also says on the site "My devotion to the free software movement is as strong as ever and I just love to tinker with code, so you can be quite sure that you haven't seen the last of me yet."

I'm impressed. Is this the first example of someone in Free Software recognizing his project isn't as good and just letting it go? Imagine if the creators of gnutella clients, mp3 players, or chat clients did this. Hopefully, this will be a growing trend. We all benefit when inefficiency is eliminated.
