Do we have any chance left of using software for our work without Big Tech behind it?

That's as easy as making new Vite. :) Which is hard, not easy but my point stands.

Fork?

It's always scary to see an open source organization being acquired

Yeah but people don't want to pay for software so all open source is basically subsidized.

I love how they always make it sound like this is by choice.

"VoidZero is joining Cloudflare"

As if they chose to do that. Yes, they agreed to it, but in the end it was just a huge financial transaction.

But i guess "Cloudflare buys VoidZero" just sounds less friendly. Even though that is exactly what happened.

The question I have is: Is Vite becoming the all-in-one nodejs tool that is replacing all the other full featured js tooling favorites like Bun, Deno and pnpm?

Vite is unmatched

Vite is now common for everything not Next (even can do Next).

It is by choice, though? VoidZero was well-capitalized and could easily have continued to raise money for the foreseeable.

That is the definition of making a choice.

This is some incredible mental backflipping to suggest that their choice wasn’t their choice.
