I liked elementary, but progress has slowed to a crawl since the two co-founders had a falling out [1]. Of course as outsiders we probably don't know everything but the other founder's (the one who left) offer to keep working on the project for free without payment sounded pretty good, and it's disappointing that Danielle Foré seemingly didn't accept it (Although I might be missing some things here, this is just what it sounded like to me). A shame, they really had something good going with the overall design and attention to detail! That being said, the changes in this release look cool and promising, hoping they can get back on track!
