And yet his older CJS versions get weekly downloads that are magnitudes higher than the newer ESM versions. I'm working on greenfield projects that leadership is still insisting we avoid ESM-only packages for. The move that Sindre (and others like wooorm) made has not been well-received.

Many authors don't care if 5 dudes use their stuff, or the rest of the world, specially when taking zero monetary value out of it.

  I'm one of them, as I'm a prolific open source contributor and maintainer. To argue that some high-profile authors don't get any monetary value from their public work is to be simply naive and uninformed. The two I mentioned have made careers on that work and derive the majority of their income from it.

Should he only works on stuff that gets more download? For what reasons? He works on what he wants to works on, it's amazing and he is lucky to be able to do it. > The move that Sindre (and others like wooorm) made has not been well-received It's normal to be sad to have lost someone that was working on something you needed, but anything else is just entitlement.

  > You write this as if that mattered... Should he only works on stuff that gets more download? It was a statement of fact. You appear to be drawing conclusions that were never hinted at nor implied. It's tiresome. > It's normal to be sad to have lost someone that was working on something you needed, but anything else is just entitlement. How and why are you applying entitlement and emotion to a documented statement of fact? Do you need to see links such as [1] to view that as fact? It's one of a myriad. Take your asinine analysis and commentary elsewhere, please. [1] https://github.com/sindresorhus/meta/discussions/15 https://github.com/sindresorhus/meta/discussions/15
