> It's the stagnation and the realization that they can't compete that's pushing them to sell based on their brand instead of their merit.
What a beautifully succinct way of putting it, and I couldn't agree more. They aren't competitive on tech, they aren't competitive on price, and this is has already pissed off a number of customers who have been with them from the beginning (starting on the free tier, growing to 10's of thousands of dollars a month) and who are now looking elsewhere. All they have is their Heroku/Salesforce name, neither of which are compelling IMHO.
