Following up on this thread. I would really appreciate the maintainers perspective on GatsbyJS future. I have projects that are dependent on this and I need to advise my clients. Any community member thoughts on the health and survivability of GatsbyJS as it lives in the Netlify-ecosystem? (apologies, not trying to pretend Im another account -- Im the OP, just happened to check status while I was in my other account). |

It has been abandoned and therefore can be considered dead, see the silence of maintainers on #38696. Next, Astro, Remix are all good alternatives. |

As far as I'm concerned, Netlify is losing a lot in terms of reputation for what it's doing with Gatsby. I can't recall another operation so deliberately harmful to the JS community as Netlify's acquisition of Gatsby. An entire team laid off overnight, a SaaS with thousands of active projects trashed, and lots of "don't worry, everything is fine" messages while the building is on fire. I hope for more transparency from the Netlify team in the future, because there's a big difference between saying "Gatsby may no longer be cutting-edge, but we're focusing on stability" and not having a significant commit in almost a year. I still have several projects in Gatsby, and I can't find a valid alternative when it comes to theme shadowing. It doesn't seem like Astro supports it. Do you have any valid suggestions? |

I've had it narrowed down to Astro and Next for awhile, but I am very allergic to going Astro for the very simple reason that Astro appears to be a kissing-cousins to GatsbyJS/Netlifys model. Say I run with them and they implode just like Netlify/GatsbyJS - shame on me! |

I stopped using Gatsby 3 months ago. Netlify is neither an option for future projects. Transparency and stability is what I need. The low activity on issues speak for itself... |

I can't get Netlify to respond, and I read rumors online suggesting the original GatsbyJS team rage-quit or was let-go (whatever) Netlify post-merger -- whatever the facts, I have several GatsbyJS-based projects I need to know if I should migrate to another framework.
Thanks GatsbyJS-residual-team! I miss you guys and hope everything is OK!
