I think you hit the nail on the head with crossplane being a 'much better terraform' by design. Our goal isn't so much a better IaC / Declarative infrastructure tool - it's a better overall workflow for doing collaborative DevOps work. We think that by having an active model of your component, and tracking the resources along side, we can fix the feedback loops in a way that things like crossplane, terraform, or pulumi really can't.

Of course today it's early - so you have to look at what we're building as a foundation for the future. But it's a solid foundation to build on!
