Of course they claim that! They have also claimed (something like 5 years 
ago) that there would be a PDK available, and many, many other features 
that simply don't yet exist. And as you probably know, Peter claimed that 
Igor would "always be free".

As you said, I've commented on it. And I did point out it many years ago 
as well.
Please keep in mind that quite a few on this list were members of the 
Igor-Talk list before, but have unsubscribed during all the years of broken 
promises.

The simple answer nowadays is that they don't have programmers for it.
Historically however (judging from the replies I previously have got), I 
think they simply didn't understand the points I tried to make.

But here are many other things you might wonder about NoteHeads:
* Why are they moving their location so often?
* Exactly why was Peter Bengtson fired from the company and why was 
he removed from the board?
* Why did Antonio quit?
* Why do they have a different CEO now, compared to half a year ago?
* Why aren't they releasing any updates of Igor anymore?
* Why don't they list an office phone anymore, only the mobile phone 
number to the CEO?
* Why hasn't NoteHeads ever been able to keep an announced deadline?
* Etc, etc...

Living in Sweden myself, I obviously hear rumours about NoteHeads. But 
I think the future will tell anyway.
