Okay, so this is entirely new to me. Sparrow
is was an email client for Mac OS X and iOS (
and Windows), which brought a decent Gmail experience to these platforms - as opposed to Apple's own not-so-good Gmail support and Google's Gmail iOS application which, well, is just a webpage. Google
has now acquired Sparrow, and basically all hell has broken loose, to the point of
Rian van der Merwe writing that 'we' lost "faith in a philosophy that we thought was a sustainable way to ensure a healthy future for independent software development, where most innovation happens".

At what cost per billable hour?
Mozilla's only significant source of revenue is the add-click.
The mother lode.
But not enough to keep Thunderbird from being retired to maintenance mode.
Google abandons projects at a dizzying pace and it has money to burn.
It is one thing to call in a plumber for a routine installation or repair.
If you have an ambitious custom job mind, say construction of a garden pool and waterfall, you'll need a contractor, maybe an architect or engineer, who specializes in these things and can see the problem as a whole.
Which means that the bill is likely to skyrocket.
