> We have a 45kloc codebase in Elm and, despite having some big pros, the closed source development it goes through, along with the 0.19 debacle, just pushed us over the edge.

Can you clarify in concrete terms what the closed source development and 0.19 thing had cost you?

I guess I've replied on the sister thread. 0.19 was just the final push. Closed development plus complete blocking of contrary feedback just does not feel like open source. The lack of transparency removed all the trust we had in the project, and although our app is relatively big, it is still viable to change to something else - that we trust.

So it seems that it was just a matter of trust (but it is not clear what trust you were looking for) and frustration with your feedback not getting heard?
