You are right about that. Most of us want to run core just because it is what we knew first and was the most robust.
Core is like the hot girl that knows that you will never leave so she taunts you to leave by saying “we don’t only want you to run core. We want there to be other immplementations.” “You have a vote in what happens, but it won’t change anything.”
When I heard that…. I was gone.
So sometimes we must prove a point.
To be fair I was running both core and knots until they decided that they didn’t care if we switched. Then it was go time.
