The MOS developers are far to quiet, they could all jump off a cliff and nobody would notice them missing for months.

People on the mailing list might notice but not everyone is on it.

They need to do smaller updates more often and make more noise about it, their competition do this and get a lot more attention as a result.

This only "marketing" going on is from the so called "blue trolls", who seem to be very effective at driving people towards the competition.
