PowerMail is the classic example of a great product that's no longer
commercially viable enough to dump lots of speculative development
investment into -- in part due to having had its potential marked
decimated, for several years, by a product given away for free with the
OS that's "good enough for most people".

Speaking as a struggling indie developer myself, I am wholly sympathetic
with both CTM's position as well as the users'.  It's a tough
situation.  Encouragement is always nice to hear, but probably the most
useful way to make a convincing business case is to start by getting 100
of your friends to buy the current version.
