some context from a third party vcv rack developer, who has not yet left the scene.
while I agree with Aria's assessments[0], and respect Aria; their unhappiness is only focused on the founder (Andrew). I respect what Andrew has built, but unfortunately, the environment that he fostered has sprung up others that are 100x more toxic than Andrew himself on his worst days.
Unfortunately, there are others that actively attack every other developer and module in the ecosystem, constantly claiming that theirs are the only "good" modules (while claiming they've left behind rack completely). it makes for an extremely toxic environment that has driven many more away.
I think that until there are enforced community standards, it will just get worse, and drive more talented developers away. I know that I don't bother participating in the Facebook groups, reddit, discord, or the "official" rack forum because of these people.
so, for those who have emailed and asked why my modules aren't yet ported: they have been lower priority compared to other things, given the extremely toxic people in the community who make it really frustrating to build anything, since there will be immediate attacks for anything new by extremely toxic individuals.
