> which became abandonware

I always understood abandonware to be commercial software that no longer is supported by the company who created it. I have a feeling open source can't be abandonware, as support was never guaranteed in the first place. Maybe a nicer way to put it is that Om was "completed" :)

To be fair there were definitely still bugs in Om as well as om.next (and both were marked as being experimental and of alpha quality) - however Fulcro came along and more less took the ideas and took them further and far as I know is actively maintained. I don't use it - but I suspect there was/is probably some kind of migration path.

Well om might indeed be complete, but it in fact requires React under the hood, and there's always some work needed to get the completed om to work with new React releases.
