Such a big piece of history and a de facto standard for managing dependencies for Apple platforms for years.

Big "thank you" to all maintainers for your great job! And respect that you recognise moment when ecosystem changed and have courage to deprecate library instead of maintaining it forever - to leave place for migrating to new, superior solutions

> superior solutions

Superior includes actual state of being better. Differences could just be differences. Maybe it’s just homoplastic.

Open source superior just means newer, even if it comes with less features and more bugs

OP here, luckily in this case, it means a more supported and vertically integrated alternative. Which does have less features, but actually gets bugs fixed and keeps up to date with the platform - so it's a net win overall IMO

Thanks, your work was of huge value to me, way more than you were rewarded for, sorry :/

This happens in proprietary software too.

Superior means it does 5 new things that the 5 maintainers wanted, but nobody else uses.
