JoomShaper’s Plans For Joomla 4
Murugappan Ramanathan
Hi,
Please note that many of us business developers may not upgrade to Joomla 4 until end 2022, or never. The reason behind this is, Joomla has been flip-flopping their decision in the middle of nowhere and their documentation of recent have become very outdated and cryprtic. They flip to BS 4 then flopped to BS5. That shift is not simple. We have extensions that use BS4 and flipping to BS5 is not going to be easy.
In fact, our user group may decide to drop Joomla all together and move to generator tools like PHPRad, Pinegrow, build pure html, css, js sites etc which gives us the flexibility.
Will the bug-fix support for the olders releases of Joomshaper components will still be there until end 2022? Unless Joomshaper wants to lose maket share.

Thanks for your valuable feedback on this topic. We are also aware of this issue. Every extensions will not be updated to Joomla 4 right from the release. This is a major concern for most of the users. And there is Bootstrap 4 and 5 conflict. However, we will use Bootstrap 5 for future releases. Please follow this blog if you haven't checked it already.
It will be upto you if you want to update or not. There will be support available for Joomla 3 and older versions for a couple of years hopefully.
Best regards
