Long time players, how long will you stick around with no new stuff??

I would very much like to keep playing but with no hope of the inventory system being improved I suspect I will stop before too long. As it is I stopped designing my town several years ago and have just been piling new stuff in the corner behind the Great Wall of Springfield. I would love to finish my town - I have lots of free space - but the thought of hunting through an inventory system that isn't even properly alphabetized is something I just won't do. It is a shame though. I've been playing every day since August 2012.
