Most of the "senior" community members who have migrated to NimSkull are those who liked to work on the compiler. The ones who remains using Nim are those who like to write libraries and projects. I've yet to see anyone create a library or project with NimSkull, although that might be because I'm not too exposed to it. I would love to be proven wrong, but for the time being NimSkull looks like a good idea if they can pull it off. But currently it looks like ripping of the band-aid to get to a better place and currently it's still in the burning and stinging phase before things (hopefully) gets better.

I apologize if my sentiment came off as Nimskull is a realistic alternative for those who are frustrated with Nim - it certainly is not, and I think your description of the state of the project is spot on PMunch!
