Smith Micro has a limited stable of products, and some of them are losing relevance to most. So they have become a handy storefront for a number of other developers. Just a quick buck and a company that is losing its ethics in the process.
Agreed. No one needs StuffIt anymore. Kind of sad, because back in the day, Aladdin made a couple of decent products and I used StuffIt on all my systems. I have a nice Aladdin T-shirt around here somewhere that I bought at MWNY.
I don't object to the other stuff they push, even though most of it is of no interest to me. Sometimes they offer deals on software that you might actually want to use, like VMWare Fusion. But this shameless pimping of MacKeeper indicates an "anything for a buck" mentality.
