Hi, Piotr.
I would say EPICS should get a "very good" for support. Or is there
anything higher than "very good"? If so, it should get that. :-) I
don't know about commercial support, but the community support is *very*
good. There are lots of experts on this Tech-Talk mailing list. And
there are lots of open source software packages to look at as examples
of doing various things.

I don't think "Internet of Things" support should be a criteria for
choosing your control system framework. I don't think it's clear
exactly what "Internet of Things" even means. Right now, it seems like
a research idea.
As far as "future," I would say that EPICS is likely to have a long
future since it is used heavily at various synchrotron light sources.
Yes, it's used in other areas too, and I think that's good, but the
light source adoption alone should make it a good bet in terms of
longevity.
