Hi, I am a user of SLIM. What is wrong with it? I read that it is not being actively developed. Does it mean a project has to be continuously developed to be used? Aren't bug reports and bug fixes NOT enough?
Software development is like a developing animal. While growing an animal is in rapid development but eventually it matures and development ceases. The same thing can be said about software development. Both a multicellular animal and software are complex and far from perfection as BOTH suffer from imperfections and both are on the way of continuous development.
