I'll transfer all the Globe tickets over to you this afternoon. ;) In all seriousness though: - I despise Javascript. - There's more important things I can spend time on. - The build system is janky and broken (not to mention insecure due to NPM). - Removing our Globe service doesn't prevent the community from running mirrors, as it's open source and only requires open data from Onionoo. - We're not losing any functionality, because (as Karsten mentioned) Philipp and I have done features and bug fixes in tandem, often even re-componentising the same tickets between Atlas and Globe. - Why we ever had two of the same thing was always a mystery to me. I vote for killing it.
