I have to admit, that Nick Wilson's post last night hit me quite hard and unprepared. I used Metrics basically exclusively for zerokspot since it was first released (last April IIRC). It won the race for me thanks to it's simplicity yet feature-richness.
Now it will be shut down on Wednesday and from what I've seen in the comments to the above post, there will be no way to export the already collected statistics. Too bad.
