I'm another conflicted person on this. I ran Tiny for years, so I never hated it. But it had so many updates that assumed that I'd know in advance to update something on the system (PHP libraries, database schema, etc.), and then putting the git repository behind Cloudflare led to a cycle of notifications that I needed an update and then waiting for Brigadoon to reemerge so that I could pull the latest source. And any time that I needed to look for a solution to a problem, reading through the forums made me regret the choice a tiny bit more.
It's reasonable software, but I ended up moving to Fresh RSS on an in-house server, and that has gone better, but I hope that the Tiny community pulls together something better to keep the space diverse.
