I kind of like that the dev doesn't get involved in all the butthurt, and just replies to those who actually need support. A roadmap would be welcome, sure.
I'm not sure if there is any big problem in development after switching the coin to token form. It was good enough when it was cryptonight coins, at least people could mine it.
There have been plenty of problems with Cryptonight forks, plenty of projects have gone down with it. ERC is a reliable option.
