CT is no longer supported.  It doesn't support recent contest rule changes
or changes to multiplier lists (though you can try to hack around these
issues).  It doesn't support sound cards.  It doesn't support WinKey or
MMTTY.  Connecting to multiple DX Clusters is complex.  Networking at a
multi-op via Ethernet is complex.  SO2R features are somewhat lacking.  Max
screen size is 50 lines.  It doesn't support RIT Clear via software.  No
rig control via OmniRig.  No rig control for the newest radios.  No
graphics.  No rotator support.

Of all the 2010 CQ WW CW submitted, only 3% were still using CT/CTWin,
according to this report (scroll to bottom):

In sum, CT was great at the time, but the world has moved on.
