How much vibe coding is involved in this?

It's by the team that did Horizon EDA, which is very much a "craftsmanship-first" effort. and they've been working on this for some time now. My guess is hardly any.

Is it a team really? Most commits seem to come from one user "carrotindustries". I am really interested in an Open Source CAD application with good UX, this one looks great. But I don't want to spend too much time on an application maintained mostly by a single developer. The risk of it being abandoned is too high.

As opposed to what?

Autodesk cogitating on what feature they can next do a rug-pull on?

The source is available, worst-case scenario is one puts together the money to hire a developer to fix or improve at need.

None, at least not deliberately. Previous attempts at vibe-coded contributions have been politely rejected.

Source: I am one of the contributors.
