I don't see why it "just" being a re-implementation matters. What works, works. I don't anticipate many problems when they launch their own system (called Normandy), since they have said up front it is a clone of the open source material from Google. We know that works.

For mobile devices, an app is required but they only support Android and iOS. If you have a Windows Phone or Blackberry, forget about it.
True, it doesn't do much good for those who use the devices/systems you listed. But as a Chrome and Android user, it's perfect for me.

I wish you the best of luck in finding a replacement for yourself!
