So whats the problem? You have a working sequencer, and its great. You're
going to get bugfixes too. You can make music with it, and its not magically
going to stop being usable in 3 months, and will still be the same great
product. People STILL use Notator on Ataris even though the platform was
dropped years ago for the same reason - its a great product.

When Logic v6 appears and is Mac only I'd expect you to have a good reason
to consider switching, but whats the point in getting all heated up now?

Take a note from the hardware world. For example the MPC2000 - when the
MPC4000 came out with new features, they stopped providing OS releases for
the 2000 as an old product line. Does that render the 2k useless? Does that
mean everyone needs to dump the 2k and spend 3 grand on a 4k unit? no, you
just carry on using it as its the same good bit of kit as it was when it was
fresh out of the box.

Now I'm dropping the email and going back to making music...
