I mean, if I'm wanting a list of people in my data who were born in South Dakota, PAFI isn't going to be as useful as PAF itself (or Legacy, or UFT, or whatever). Pragmatically, in archival mode, if PAF isn't going to be maintained or updated, /and if/ you want to keep it anyway, grab any add-on or utility you can while they're available, (And keep a computer they'll run ON) before those developers all switch gears toward the nFS-paradigm. Because, if you're not LDS, nFS isn't going to matter to you for a few years and that's a lot of genealogy in some families.
