Well, that's not a lot in my book.  From comments that have appeared on this 
forum over the years, support has a major influence on most people's choice 
of logger.  And of course new contests never arise, the rules for existing 
ones are really stable and contest entry formats have never been known to 
change . . .  You will have noted that new issues of logger software are 
never needed, for these reasons.

And when the programmers find something more interesting (or lucrative) to 
do, that's when software reaches it's EOL.  In principle that shouldn't 
happen when it's open source (Mac?), but finding someone else to pick up the 
pieces is rarely trivial.

Just as an example, ask those responsible for the defence of the realm why 
they've stuck with MS and its issues for their non-safety-critical 
applications.  And the answer is because it has a developed support 
structure.
