sure, but the extent of the edits weren't things like reworking an algorithm so much as fixing things like typos or adding missing arguments for api changes -- stuff that causes a mod to actually pop and error rather than simply not do what it's supposed to.
i don't think wowmatrix was a panacea or anything -- it had a lot of issues, but it still did one thing very, very well. and that one thing is something a lot of people appreciate. i personally look at it as a competition thing -- the more competition we have between companies serving up addons, the better the users of those addons will be treated as a way to get their support.
i'm hopeful that the wowi updater will work well. i think wowi is a little more "service oriented" than curse is. i absolutely love the wowace side of curse, but the curse side of curse blows chunks. i've tried the curse client a few times and every time i'm underwhelmed. guess we'll see how things pan out.
