Is it only about speed of the toolchain? I mean, speed is very much needed but is there any other benefits for end users?

> On top of our open-source projects, we will offer an end-to-end JavaScript tooling solution specifically designed to meet the scale and security requirements of enterprise environments.

I'm wondering what it will mean. Will there be a paying, closed source 'end-to-end' toolchain?

From the wording, it looks there would be some closed source tooling. But not sure what or how it will integrate

I think it's one of those things where the fragmented toolset itself holds back faster evolution of the ecosystem.

When Tool A doesn't play nicely with Tool B, teams end up wasting cycles.

Ideally, in a unified toolchain, everything plays nicely and the whole ecosystem evolves faster, more stably.
