I don't think anyone around here is happy that aD is no longer.
Actually, I am.
They went closed-source on the technology and did the "idiot MBA" approach to everything - including the decision to use Java and try to be buzzword compliant! I have known altogether too many MBA's who ruined good companies.
The market has spoken - aD deserved to die, and it did. Anything of value was produced about 2 years ago.
Now the rest of us ACS'ers can get on with our lives and focus all the energy on OpenACS - with all the wood behind one arrow so to speak. Kind of like when you turn off the soap opera you are watching you can be more productive in your work.
