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.
