That's not a reason to always blame them. In fact instead of being anti to these commercial companies because they were nowhere to be seen for the last 3 years, I think the community should be welcoming of them as well as other open source partners so that we have more of a ecosystem in the next 3 years.
No blame... and not anti.

I would love it if a commercial partner stepped in and provided apps for things not covered well already.

I also realize that being there in the beginning is no guarantee either. Wayfinder was... yet they have provided little support that is specific to the tablet. Instead they just crammed a square peg in a round hole by providing a port of an app developed for other devices. In 3 years time they have offered only minor, cosmetic updates.

I also said in my original post in this thread that the Foreca app was well made and that I would use it if it wasn't for OMW.
