The one thing that Cesium doesn't really provide is really good 2D map support (i.e. ortho). Mapbox really shines here and its mostly due to their Mapbox GL stuff and Vector Tiles. It would be nice to have a leaflet-like GL accelerated mapping framework (the mapbox GL API is vastly different than leaflet and is horrid in comparison). Mapbox GL also doesn't support any other projection besides mercator.
It would be nice to have an alternative to them as they are increasingly more and more corporate and a hot mess internally.
