I've mainly worked with Node for now 8 years, and recently switched to Deno. Even that switch was hard to do; not because things don't work, but you don't know when they won't.

Node has its share of flaws, but it's the de facto baseline against which things are tested and developed. I'm somewhat more comfortable working with The Main Thing.

The JavaScript ecosystem is nightmarish enough that many developers don't want to switch to the Next Cool Thing. I think many of us have had enough fatigue caused by new build tools, new bundlers, new runtimes, etc.

As of right now, Bun is not compelling enough for the potential headaches down the line.

(Maybe there won't be any, but I've spent weeks dealing with incompatibilities caused by a single TS minor update (which should've been breaking). Days chasing after dependency problems, after missing docs, etc.)
