Well, beginning with your description of "half baked"...essential router functionality was available and firmware updates did not take 6 months initially. So I'm not taking your point there. If you are referring to the time following release 80, yes it has been too long but again, essential router functionality is there and the home automation certainly works with the Securifi products as well as some others. The Rules are Beta, not release version.
As for public roadmaps, you have got to be kidding me, most companies don't release "public roadmaps" for software or hardware. They barely have internal roadmaps and yes, that includes successful companies. DEC, Compaq, HP, NEC, IBM, they've all done it with various hardware devices and retail software and so have many many others.
I realize you are axe grinding, and I don't blame Kickstarter backers for being angry, not a bit. What I don't understand is the hostility to those that differ from you in experience or opinion and the constant derailing of threads without providing value to the OP's, this thread not withstanding.
But I can only speak to my experience and that of a half dozen implementations I have supported and they are all functional.
