It's not strange, it's the natural state of a market with limited and ever-changing information.
It's not strange, it's the natural state of a market with limited and ever-changing information. At each iteration, people ask themselves two questions: "Am I convinced this will alleviate one or more pain points I have?" and "Am I convinced this will be active, well-documented, maintained, and improved for the forseeable future?". Note the questions are "am I convinced this will" rather than "will this", because information is limited. It is very difficult to know a priori whether something will really alleviate a pain point, or whether it just seems like it will. The ability to do that successfully most of the time is one of the great advantages of experience. Even worse, it's basically impossible to predict the future evolution of community support for a given project, but support from a company that can pay salaries and is not itself going anywhere is one of the best positive indicators of longevity and maintenance (though it says little of quality).

"Focus follows mouse" is what I use to keep the file manager from popping up when click-dragging files.
The biggest problem with this is if the target URL doesn't load but also doesn't quickly error out, like e.g.
Google wants to build up a private web here.
