But eventually he gets it stable and in a lot of respects more useful that other DAWS.

Having the luxury of wealth but still driven to write code - and being a musician and fascinated with audio/video - he writes Reaper. He eventually quits (due to Time Warner getting pissed at him for various things they say he did) and he gets bought out. The guy that wrote Winamp and got bought by AOL. This was after things like SAW and early Cakewalk.

There's a similar thread going on with recording software - commonly called a DAW. You can't throw someone into coding a package like this that has no clue as to what it's even supposed to do. after the failed move to CN, one of the team mentions that they have some coders in the Ukraine that can code this stuff. They did initially trash the Specctra interface in early Ad15 but fixed right quick after I bitched. Got AD14 and 15 which added the push and shove, wiggly squiggly shit which was kinda nice.

Then I had to upgrade for some silly reason that John Hopkins wanted (solder mask sliver shit that any CM will usually handle) and so I had to upgrade. I never really needed to be on their forum - the shit just worked.

Don't get me wrong, there were issues with all of the versions, but they seemed manageable to a degree as compared to the random shit that's happening now. I myself have done over 2,500 designs with versions from Protel Client 3.2/Adv PCB 2.8 up to AD6.9. Even after they kicked him out, AD was still a pretty usable product. Fairly stable, as best as I've seen since the early Nick Martin (founder) days and up to when he got fired in 2012. By that point Altium was on record in various online electronic development publications stating that their suite consisted of 15 million lines of code. But I have to hand it to the CN coders, within two point releases they had it fairly stable and fixed. So around 2014/2015 they release Ad15 (still 32 bit) which in it's initial state is a bit buggy to say the least. This is when our host David, said he had enough and quit (good for him).

I also felt that they moved there in an effort to try and keep places like motherboard mfgs, and commodity electronics guys from using cracked copies of things like Protel/Altium (you won't believe how many products have been done with cracked P99SE software). Dave states this was in a failed effort to get cheaper coders. As I and our Host here on EEVBlog (and former Altium employee) David have mentioned, they had moved dev to China around 2014. As it went I kept getting the nagging feeling that something was extremely wrong with the place.

It's like a full time job just debugging their stuff. Man, you gotta hand it to any user that signs up for that. Even Matt was asking Alexey about what I was saying. Why they added more crap that is buggy as hell. As it went I kept asking why they removed features that users have counted on for decades. Matt (been the VP there of some thing for 25 years) and some dude named Alexey called me an had me get on some sort of Goto thing. I made a mistake in 2019 and agreed to be on their beta forum. I just got kicked off their main forum for some odd reason - I've asked their upper management and still no reason why. It had issues but they were mostly manageable. Yes - for me AD17 was the most usable and stable.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the sales rep may suggest the monthly subscription model to help with cash flow, but why would anyone with a perpetual license switch to that? If you really need the newest features, I'm sure you could justify the maintenance subscription. Most of the recent stuff in AD20/21 just isn't of interest to me, and I have no interest in investing in a more powerful PC right now, nor deal with a bunch of new bugs. I've been relatively happy using AD19 to just maintain the existing projects. I still get emails about reinstating my sub. I told them I just wasn't interested any more. Similar to ajb I was called several times and was eventually asked what it was worth for me to renew. I actually stopped paying last year as I couldn't justify the annual fees for the amount of work I've done recently in Altium, plus the business uncertainty at the time. I think being a small business gives you a bit of leverage to beg. And a couple of times I got an extra month, so it is always worth asking your rep. A couple of times in the past ~10 years when I hesitated to renew I was offered a discount.
