Go for it  
Ask questions and those who are here may be able to help

several of us still do for various purposes  
Not sure I’d say _most_

Some - mostly to do with bugs that in some cases are long standing and not fixed so either a workaround is need or “do something else” is required  
Some have no “problems” using it and have done so for very long times  
I’ve used it for \> 20 years  
And still post [tips like this](https://ifnotnil.com/t/xojo-tip-nil-arrays/4106/6) from time to time

There is a LOT of the disappointment with Xojo is a result of just the slow pace at which bugs get fixed

TBH I think you mischaracterize things

There ARE a lot of disillusioned Xojo uses and former users here  
Some folks have transitioned entirely away from it after bad &/or costly experiences  
Even after trying to enlist Xojo to aid them they were rebuffed  
And banned from Xojo’s forums

Some still use Xojo for their work - but their workplace is making moves away from Xojo

And some still use it all the time but are disappointed with Xojo & its pace of correcting bugs
