FWIW, ST still does ship Insight. I know that we have customers that do 
use it too, because we occasionally get support requests. Not too many 
though - it mostly Just Works. :)

All the new exciting work is going into the Eclipse product, but with 
that we're getting complaints that it's not enough like Insight! For one 
thing, the customers like the speed and simplicity.

We don't use CVS HEAD, so we don't scream the moment it breaks, but if 
there were no Insight 6.9 you'll probably hear about it. ;)

I can't offer much in the way of expertise or effort, but please take 
this as a vote for keeping Insight alive.

Thanks for all your hard work

Andrew
