CS-Studio or phoebus for the future #2691

Hi there,

Hope you are all doing well.

I was wondering what the plan for the future of these two projects is; will CS-Studio be abandoned and ultimately phoebus will replace it? Or will you guys keep both of these products alive?

As a developer interested in writing plugins for it, which one should I be using?

There's no plan to delete the Eclipse-based repo, so you're free to use it as long as you want, but if you check the git contributions history, I think it reflects pretty clearly that the Eclipse-based version is still in use and it is being maintained as far as bug fixes go, but all the ongoing development is with the Phoebus-based product.
