I think people are being a bit harsh but your original comment (especially starting with "It seems to me" which makes it sound like a value judgment) was phrased in a way that did sound a lot like you were implying that redbean was better for the same requirements, although you didn't actually explicitly say that.

I think you would have gotten a more positive reaction if you said something like "As an alternative take on the idea of an "open-source backend in one file, redbean is a much simpler, vastly lighter one-file web server + sqlite DB: https://redbean.dev/" to make redbean isn't necessarily intended to be the same type of "open-source backend in one file"

Anyway, redbean does look really neat even if it's not necessarily totally interchangeable with pocketbase
