Yes...and no.

Those who were there would be better at telling the story, but up until the Atlassian acquisition and Joel deciding to spend most of his time on a collection of other projects[1], my sense of FC was "software for developers." The original product they made for project planning (FogBugz) and its SCM companion (Kiln) continued on for a while, but seemed to have faded as Glitch ramped up.

The other one that comes to mind is Copilot, whose development was chronicled in the Aardvark'd movie - I think Tyler took over the project and is still running it on the side, last I heard.

Kind of bittersweet to see these fade away, but Glitch seems to have had more critical success outside of their traditional user base so they're running with it.
