If a millennial were to drop in here I doubt they would stay long, this forum looks like it's for grandpa to mess around with ancient music to them.

This is spot on.

Having said that I still think all the many long term requests and irritations of Biab should have addressed first, clean everything up, make it visually look like a modern DAW before doing all of this 64 bit and VST stuff. I was surprised to learn that they were able to compile Biab to 64 bit without having to rewrite the basic code. IMHO it should have been rewritten to address so many long term issues like the 255 bar limit, 4 chords per bar, correct usage of time sigs and so many other things that hold the program back. Then speaking of marketing, make the thing look like a modern DAW rather than a 30 year old DOS program.

Agree 100%. However, based on the scope of the yearly updates and the issues with the plugin rollout, I doubt they have the team in place (size, experience, etc.) to accomplish this.
