vaporware is good and bad ...

good, because if its features gets implemented "right" and if it is
needed, it will get widely adopted

vaporware is bad, when its something that is sold, that is not
yet fully functional to end users and in the old days, to generate
revenue for the company and commissions to the sales droids

think back to the stone ages .. even the linux kernel was vaporware in the
beginning and there were other equivalent options to choose from
