> Not to mention when the devs themselves get bored with tool X they've created and jump to creating some newer tool Y, dropping the whole community...
Given that you don’t pay for the product I don’t see anything wrong here. People work on what they want then change if they’re bored; you can’t do anything about that but pay them to continue supporting the tool you decided to use.
You can. You can encourage developers to contribute to a single project, rather than create fragmentation, which is exactly what's happening in this forum.
1) A fragmentation of targets for complementary products. Any tool that must integrate with bundlers now has one more target.
2) A fragmentation of development efforts across competing projects. Webpack has many contributors, but they'd have 1 more if the author of Parcel built parallelism into Webpack instead of a new bundler.
