Open source code is usually quite nice and well done because money pressure is way less of an issue and everyone knows people will be looking at your code
Also what I’ve heard from open-source project maintainers, once a project gets popular, the flood of feature requests is neverending. (Something I’m sure I contributed to over the years 🫣) And especially in cases of feature requests with niche usefulness or mismatching vision, they can sap developer morale.
Because source maps show how shitty your organization’s code and overall engineering practices are.

That’s probably also why development is usually really slow and most maintainers can’t keep up/give up.
Nope, it is simply because they are overwhelmed. Either it’s too much work to do after your day job or just too much work for one person.
