ST Alternative?

Not that I WANT to leave ST as I love the fact that we have access to the IDE and some seriously advanced features; but the reliability of the system and inconsistent nature of it (works one day, doesn’t the next, etc.) is just too much… especially since I have it implemented at my house to use fully, not just as a toy/hobby. Since Wink is dead or dying out; is there anything else out there that is comparable to ST but actually works? I know this is probably not the best place to post something like this however I love what ST in theory should do… just tired of waiting endlessly for what seems to be a one man support show to fix. It’s sad that Samsung doesn’t fund their dev/support better because it’s clearly VERY lacking and I’m sure that poor guy or poor guys are just completely swamp…
