I don't know why they have to invent something new, if you're just managing kubernetes manifests, kustomize already is good for this task and simple to start with.

Hey we've been using ksonnet since before kustomize existed and we've just rewritten it to be more flexible with much more focus.

Further we use jsonnet a lot (including generating dashboards) and in general found it much more powerful and useful compared to plain YAML. From a customary glance, I can't find if kustomize supports jsonnet.

I didn’t know Jsonnet is a thing, maybe I’m too familiar with YAML, and JSON isn’t my cup of tea. Glad it works for you.

Despite it's name, Jsonnet can generate JSON, YAML, INI, and other formats.
