" Developers choose a chain based on culture and because of perceived activity. " ( Hatchet @0x6861746366574 )
I think you are giving yourself the answer here.
If you look closely, one major problem with NEM / Symbol is " tomorrow "(Core / NIS / Catapult).
Anyone who has been here long enough knows what I mean by this.
Unfortunately, this seems to be continuing with Symbol now. It is not about new functions, but about a reasonable, comprehensible progress in development that is visible to all.
Information should be freely available to all. This idea is unfortunately being trampled on here.
(One of the things that now repels me most about NEM / Symbol).
thx
