Why is it bad sign? It means the old versions are pretty good and people are still using them. It's very hard for me to imagine a library used at this absolutely massive, mind-boggling scale that doesn't have a long tail of legacy support.

On top of that people are very much still moving to v6. When I checked last August it was about 50-50 v6 vs the rest, now it's 60-40, and in absolute terms that delta is far more than the total number of Reach downloads.

That's a very optimistic view of the situation.

It’s really frustrating how the remix/react router maintainers refuse to examine how their major version changes have caused pain for tons of developers out there.

There’s a reason why this feedback keeps coming up again and again.

I think the fact that the team chose the React Router name tells me they don’t understand how tainted the name is for a lot of experienced front end devs.

And moving forward it’s going to be even harder to search for issues when you stumble on a problem because the names of Remix/React Router have been polluted over the years.

Hey! But those sweet download stats! Now it’s bigger than next and that’s the only thing that matters.
