It's been available for well over a decade with thousands of happy users, 
so it's certainly not junk.

I have no idea what you're talking about there.   You can still get the USB 
data logger (amazon link) 
<https://www.amazon.com/Davis-Instruments-6510USB-WeatherLink-Software/dp/B001AMKC14>
 as 
low as $130 US although it certainly is ridiculously pricey for what it 
does.   Go with the USB logger and you don't need anybody's cloud or 
services, just your weewx computer to hook it to.

A Vue is $285 US at scientificsales, to name one place.   If you're out of 
the US your price and availability would of course vary.
