Enshitification by owners of Audacity including telemetry. They eventually backed down, but that was after Tenacity forked off it and people started using and improving it.
What state is tenacity in these days?
Works great for me
Same. Although I only use it for very basic things. Honestly I mostly have switched to Davinci's Fairlight, which is built into Resolve.
I can't press the record button without it crashing and it fails to see half of my audio inputs, so I'd say not great.
The sad reality of audio software has been that usually the paid commercial software is better and more reliable. I've used Audacity alot for work, and it gets it the job done, but tools like iZotope RX are light years beyond in features and UI/UX.
Don't know if you can call this "enshittification" as that implies it got progressively worse. It was bought out by a corporation and immediately turned to shit while also being neglected.
