I totally agree with you. But the mentioned project was a viable option two years ago, when it was trying to get developer traction and the "runs on JVM" was a hyped feature (not to mention the bad experience almost everyone had with such things).

Amber is, IMO, way more valuable and with a greater feature than Redline. And I never used any of them.

I wouldn't do a PR campaign mentioning VW's Pollock UI, Pharo's Spec or any other abandoned project whatsoever.

A different thing is a project of which you can expect to move at a slow pace, but uninterruptedly.
