I think ViaCAD has been around for ten years or so.

I'm actually surprised too see it is still around, though it probably has bounced from one vendor to another during that period. It was a good application at the time and probably still is, though I haven't tried it in its laterst version. It was in/is in a market that saturated with CAD apps in the low to medium price range (like TurboCAD)

It's comparable to VectorWorks, which also runs on PC and Mac platforms. Even selling for around $200-$300 when it first came out, ViaCAD was a pretty good deal by comparison. Selling at under $100 hopefully won't prevent it from getting further significant development.
