I agree. The major cause was undoubtedly the GPU miners. But I was still squeezing out a few blocks here and there. The finish line was drawn by hard fork 14. After that, as you noted, it just wasn't worth the time to download all the dependencies and work through compiling it myself or to set up a linux vm.

Exactly. I didn't bother updating on the HF it just wasn't worth my time. Even before the GPU miners arrived it wasn't very profitable.
I had like one week, right after hard fork 13, where my son and I were hitting 10-15 blocks a day between the two of us. At least I didn't entirely miss all the fun. Of course, those blocks were worth something like $1.00 or $1.50 each at the time...
