What do you mean no more Sparrow?

Last time I checked, it's still available for download. My understanding was that it just isn't in active development anymore.

I use it as my primary mail client on my personal machine, and it does pretty much everything I'd want as is.

I've used Sparrow every day for over a year.

It's got a great UI and I love it, but it's buggy as hell. Slow, sometimes doesn't refresh, the DB grows to 10s of GBs.

As much as I like it, the fact that there's not going to be any more updates has gotten me to switch off it.

Software is fluid, not static. Any software that is not being updated, I believe any rational user should move on to ones that are.

"Launching" on the heels of the announcement from Sparrow seems like a poor choice. A lot of people felt like they just got dumped. Then again, this is just another fancy "Give us your email address for whenever we get our act together" page, so maybe people will be more lenient.

Are you applying this to all your apps then, including webapps or are you treating email as a special case?
