why are you glad, because google bought them? rewind to before the acquisition and there was a lot of positive sentiment towards things built using firebase.
It's closed source and there's no API-compatible self-hosted open source version. Vendor lock-in is a big concern for many people.
It's still very positive. With their introduction of Firebase Functions and datastore, firebase is amazing for certain projects..
