A few years ago I noticed that all the other editors seemed to have online enthusiasm. Having used bbedit for decades and having exchanged email as tech support many, many times, I asked Rich if bbedit was a thriving or if it was just hanging on. He assured me that thriving was the better characterization.

I would interpret that to say for-profit is applicable though, having had projects that lasted a long time (not thirty years!), I can say that sticking with it that long is always, also, a labor of love.
