I generally agree, the fact that the project relies on Google's internal steering is the much bigger factor in this to me.

There is no guarantee these 50 devs can actually focus on Flutter, instead they might get looped in in the internal race to AI products.



I mean we do actually have many years of real life experience at this point of how they perform in the real world.

I’ve never actually come across a better maintained project personally. It is incredibly thoughtfully developed with a high level of attention to detail who have successfully shipped a huge number of major improvements in ways that made sense.

There is a premise in the post that implies Flutter is poorly maintained and that’s just not a commonly held belief by the community at all.

As I hinted to in another comment the particular person behind this is a bit of an oddball and I think there may be other reasons that drove this decision in the first place in addition to the ones he gave in the post which for the record I’m sure there are some things he wishes were prioritised differently but this fork seems kind of very “him” rather than a popular position that people were begging for.
