you can do whatever you want man, i just personally like to base my decisions off deep consideration and understanding the problems at hand instead of virtue signalling after being manipulated by social media campaigns, but to each their own.

core vs knots social media beef aside: don't you believe that there should be more than one usable implementation of full node software?
I think it’s fine and can sometimes reveal bugs in the main client. but i think it would be risky if lots of different clients became heavily used in the economy. subtle bugs could be really bad.
We see this on nostr all the time. Any small implementation detail can lead to horrible incompatibilities. That would suck with your money.
That would definitely suck. Just hurts to see development go on and then have people say "it's too complicated to get parity with core" (fresh codebase, not a fork). Like even rust-bitcoin does a bunch of stuff different than core still due to complexities IIRC, which is, of course, a WIP but still not nice to know.
welcomed decentralization side effects...
Give me a break, who am I virtue signalling for, the 3 people who will read this? I too like to base decisions off deep consideration and understanding. I've been waiting for either from core devs and have yet to see it. Instead it's always conceipt, contempt, and hubris (on full display from you and Lopp today). If I've been persuaded more by team knots (or manipulated as you call it), that's because core has done a horrible job of selling this. Granted, it's pretty hard to sell a turd.
