We have seen that the follow on versions, 2007, 2008, 2009 have all been good with many improvements. OOTP 10 will no doubt be another growth spurt, and so on and so on.
#2. I can't speak for others, but I don't spend a lot of time on the net, and certainly don't have time to go to other sites and "hail the exploits" of OOTP. I've certainly mentioned it to a lot of friends and strangers alike over the years, and am responsible for a lot of sales, but that's the limit of my "hailing".

I agree with your first point. OOTP v2006 was not as bad as has been reported. A significant number of customers were put off by the merger with SI. The change in "look" and v2006's faults got it a very hostile reaction. Coming up to 3 versions later I think Markus should be applauded for taking a risk and following his vision.
