It's 2025, the state of optical media software is depressing. Yet there's still a light shining. ImgBurn, while it hasn't seen a release in over 10 years, is still a great piece of software that works well, and is feature complete (for now). The last 10 - 15 years have seen a terrible shift with software. For some odd reason you have to now release a new version of your product every week in order to be considered 'normal' and 'alive'. Back in my day, we received a new version every 2-4 years and we were happy with it. No need to be nagged with "updates" evey time you launch a program.
I expect a renaissance in optical media soon. As people begin to (finally) realize that the "Cloud" isn't all that great, and the desire to actually own what you paid for starts to take a strong hold in people's minds.
What can be done to show the world that while there are no releases, ImgBurn is still as great as other projects that release a new version every few weeks for the sake of just releasing?
