Because this is open source software, when a project is stopped by the creator it is not abandoned, and lost forever like Windows programs which are closed source and cannot be modified by others when the Windows program authors leave.
Instead, being as it's an open source project, it can be picked up by anyone who wants to and development can continue.
Or do you not understand open source? At least with Linux, when a project leader leaves a piece of code isn't wrapped up in closed source and hidden from everyone, people are free to continue to work on it.
Windows shills are tiresome, find something else to bitch about.
