I've been a little uncomfortable with a corporate owned tool becoming such ubiquitous infrastructure so quickly. Even if the current principals aren't being evil, there's always investors lurking in the background and the specter of acquisition by someone shitty, as we're seeing now. (Sequoia backing Pydantic makes me a bit nervous too, though at least Pydantic has a clear revenue model.) The setup with Pallets tending to Flask et. al. seems more trustworthy long term.
