Unfortunate. Competition is generally good for the consumer and I'd hate to see one of more more customer-friendly storefronts go away.
Especially competition that actually delivers something unique a segment of the population wants as opposed to simply existing. Their DRM free stance and standalone installers are a pro consumer move giving control back to the consumer once they download the files.
