This is my view too on this as well as other software with uncertain
future. It works for me, now. There is no reason for me to panic. I
keep my eye open for alternatives, I know some alternatives, but I will
not take that work until I need to.
I am already using some abandoned software. All I need is to keep a
system installation where it works. Intaglio still works on my main
system. No rush. I can make a transition when I need to, or even more
optimally, when I feel like it, when I find an alternative that is
better, for me. This is like when I transitioned to Intaglio. I was
using some discontinued software, and had been checking out a dozen
alternatives. Intaglio was the best, clearly better than the old
program. That’s the time to switch.
Will EazyDraw or Affinity Designer be that step up, or just a
replacement, for me? It takes time to figure that out.
I have seen similar reactions on other software when the developer goes
silent. Why do they do that, why not officially make us know the
situation? Discontinued, delayed, whatever. And the users panic, as if
the program didn’t work. It works!

I do have pdfs of my intaglio drawings if only because that is what you need to include in latex. But I still need the Intaglio drawings for when I need to edit. And, at my age, I sure have better things to do than to learn how to edit pdfs. But thanks anyway.
So, all I wanted to say is why I will stick with Intaglio and that, maybe, some people may not really need to switch either. Depends on how you are using it and I can see why some people could be getting nervous.

I would recommend saving the Intaglio figures as PDFs, just in case an OS update or something else knocks out Intaglio.
That way you have a route to get the files into many editing packages.

What does Intaglio have that EasyDraw doesn’t?
No idea, but in my case, I have a huge number of Intaglio drawings as figures in many books. So, switching is out of the question for me.
