Are you proposing that they should be doing stuff like frameworks and ide integration all by themselves or are you saying they should magically make a community

Are you proposing that they should be doing stuff like frameworks and ide integration all by themselves or are you saying they should magically make a community appear to make them?
The product comes before the community (unless you have insane marketing money)
- pjmlp 2y agoI am saying that without them, it isn't an real alternative. Alternatives are supposed to cover all uses cases, otherwise they aren't alternatives. Not even AMD and Intel are able to make it happen, so it remains to be seen how much small communities are able to achieve.

- indymike 2y ago> Alternatives are supposed to cover all uses case I can't think of a single tech product where feature parity was a driver for growth. If all you have is parity, then all you compete on is lower price. Usually, some advantage (better/safer/faster/easier) makes a difference for a few important use cases (good examples were early, feature-incomplete no-sql databases that excelled in one use case that existing SQL servers did not). That advantage hasn't emerged yet, so no community has developed. We'll see if it ever does...
