>How many millions codebases use it is irrelevant. It is relevant, because it speaks to the reliability of the dependency. `pydantic` has 24.7k Github stars and was last updated 52 minutes ago. Adding a random dependency `dacite`, which has 1.9k Github stars, no one has ever heard of, and was last updated 4 months ago, introduces way more complexity and sources of instabilities than propagating `pydantic`. | ||

More updates means more changes and more instability. I have never seen dacite, but it’s pretty easy for a small library to just be complete. If it’s complete, why the need for constant changes? | ||
