I don't know, is Tumult buying Boston Dynamics... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVlhMGQgDkY ...and building scary looking robots? 
To be fair, it seems Google is selling Boston Dynamics and appears to be getting out of the scary robot business. So, that's a plus. But in general, I've had lots of problems with them in the past. It's hard for me to trust them again.
Lately, I've been wondering if it's worth the extra effort to run Piwik instead of just using Google Analytics. After much thought, I decided to stick with Piwik.
As for jQuery, I think people rely on it too much – instead of just writing some simple JavaScript code.
Website obesity is a problem... The Website Obesity Crisis ...and I can't just keep chasing after the latest framework... Comparison of JavaScript-based web frameworks - Wikipedia ...I still like jQuery, but mainly because it's a big part of WordPress and Drupal. After what I've learned from using Hype, I tend to avoid using jQuery because I don't need it as much.
If I have a problem with Hype, there it is. By using the software, I became a much better JavaScript developer. So, I don't necessarily need to use Hype.
Fortunately, I prefer using a graphical user interface. I haven't seen anything that's close to competing with Hype. But even if better software does come along, I'd probably still think nice thoughts about Tumult. You care about your customers and have a friendly community. It's like Stencyl. Even though I don't really use that software anymore, I'd probably still recommend the software when it makes sense. They have a great community too and the software is a great way to get started with game development.
Also, if you're worried about this... Free Hype Templates 🏗 - #25 by strmiska ...my experiment with Matter.js didn't go so well. I started learning the API, only to realize how much effort is involved. Even just to specify a background color was too tedious for me. I'm waiting to see if you improve your Physics API. So meanwhile, I'm just taking it easy. I'm a bit burned out on web development right now.
