I never really had much to do with FB - only tried it once. As for Mattias - only talked to him once on ICQ after the 'preview' was released. I told him I was doing an article on JED and FB for Darkness Falls and if he had an estimate of when a working beta might be available. I asked politely I should add - "Isn't a preview enough for now?!" was the reply. Don't like to judge people by one incident - but needless to say I ditched the FB angle and did the article entirely on JED.
...and for the future of FB? I *severely* doubt he'll get many users mainly because there's no telling if he'll pull the program again leaving users high and dry. I agree with his sentiments regarding JkEdit, but the big question mark that hangs around FB is going to scare 99% of users off.
