Technology Review just had a big article extolling the forward motion of the PlantLab project, made up of industry heavy weights, which is actually and boastfully intended to replace the internet, because the internet is "outdated" (read barbaric) in their eyes. It will have centralized control (read censorship) and will be owned privately, free at first, but likely to have a toll meter placed on it. It is already in operation and plans are to have it swallow everything else. That is about the biggest threat I can see here.
Turbopower products, for a LONG time, have made the best tools I have ever seen, regardless of language. I have used them for over ten years, and hearily applaud their decision. They are where it's at. Also, their products have always had a singular attribute.. it is not proprietary! Full source comes with purchase, for only a couple hundred dollars or so, and you get free updates till the next major release. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN OPEN SOURCE COMPANY. Now, you guys come along with unwashed ears and throw your petty stones at it and them, like they are nothing's because YOU are simply unaware. I see this at my own linux club meetings too often, these youngsters are arrogant about anything outside their interest or awareness. Time to become human, people, times are a-changin'.
