Although Analog is not under what I would call active development, I 
don't see how that would be an issue. Analog does what it does very very 
well. There is little that could be done without changing the scope of 
the program. When problems do come up, which is extremely rare these 
days, there are a number of people here who can fix them.

To my mind it has much more to do with what you are trying to 
accomplish. If you want what Analog does, there is no better choice. But 
there are features which Analog choses not to address. A number of these 
Analog does not address because they are impossible. For example, any 
attempt to count visits is an illusion. A number of other products are 
happy to offer you that illusion, Analog offers you facts. If you need 
one or more of those features you may want to look elsewhere.
