This is the issue with subscriptions that could be regular old software: When the other side of the equation changes you can be in deep troubles. With regular old software you are in control when to make updates, how to vet them and how to move on when no updates are coming.

Ah...but things like payroll/tax integrations usually require periodic changes, so folks get stuck on the upgrade treadmill even if they're happy. I somehow ended up supporting half the quickbooks users in my town and I can assure folks that most of the quickbook hate out there has been earned. :/
This project looks interesting, especially as a non-cloud offering. As for support...well that's certainly something folks can provide if there's a need.
