The Future of Perch

Does Perch have a future. Can we realistically buy a license on a client's behalf with the confidence that Perch will still exist in 10 years, 5 years, 1 year?!

I want to believe because it is still such great software for web designers that want to actually design rather than just re-sell WP templates.

Anything from the owners to put our minds at rest would be most welcome.

I'm still a Perch fan.
