So a tool's value should be judged as inversely proportional to its age?

  Maybe inversely proportional to how much the ecosystem moves around it.

  A tools value is in the eye of the beholder. Nginx has ceased being valuable to me when they decided to change licenses, go private equity, not adapt to orchestration needs, ignore http standards, and not release meaningful updates in a decade.

    > when they decided to change licenses, https://github.com/nginx/nginx/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/nginx/nginx/blob/master/LICENSE looks like a nice normal permissive license. I don't care that there's a premium version if all the features I want are in the OSS version.

    Private equity? Either there’s a story I’m missing, or you’re mischaracterizing F5 as PE.

      Lookup Angie, freenginx, and the whole Rambler / F5 fiasco. Moscow feds involved and forced exploitation for profit.
