Given how many projects still found the service useful, I think we made the right choice. We very much understood that it was sub-standard and did not meet the needs for most projects, but it was certainly able to help some. We were also able to get great feedback (and make fixes/improvements) to the features we *did* release. I'm glad you like the new features, though! We're going to continue interating on them... like the fact that you can use wiki markup on your project summary page now.

Given the growth and activity that we saw on the site, I think we made the right choice. Thousands of people were using the site regularly. But yes... we knew it was a huge hole, and downloads has been our number one "big feature" to complete and to deploy. While we made a number of small improvements and changes to the site (e.g. issue change notification), you are right: nothing *big* since launch. I hope you will enjoy the new features!
