Yes!

Yes, this might fit into a 3 or 4 update cycle per year but the effort put into rectification, regression and new features in recent iterations has been embarrassingly weak.
Certainly at the outrageous price they charge for yearly renewal!

Well, enough crumbs to make folks believe it's a going concern. What I naively hope is that they'll make a one-time splash with a stellar update to convince those (like me) who have given up hope to return to the paying fold, if only temporarily. A little daydreaming feels nicer than having to accept cold reality -- especially in these harsh times...
So, thank you, Acorn, for all your efforts to have Xara take the desktop apps seriously again!
