Well done ITA/Google for killing a once very useful tool.
We knew it was the end of a excellent product when Google acquired ITA July/2010. I've used ITA for years for my work. I would have gladly paid a subscription fee for it to be kept in the original hands and enhanced instead of inferior upgrades.

Inferior upgrades is merely my perspective. Google, as do others, see it differently. Google’s acquisition of ITA Software will create a new, easier way for users to find better flight information online, which should encourage more users to make their flight purchases online.

I will need to adjust.
