I don't understand why you are getting downvoted. TensorFlow 1.x barely worked and people stuck with it because the alternatives were worse. I moved to PyTorch as soon as I could because it is better than TensorFlow 1.x, TensorFlow 2.x, or Keras w/TensorFlow backend.

TensorFlow is designed by committee and is more of a brand now than a machine learning framework. Did you know there is TensorFlow Quantum?

There were alternatives. IMO, Microsoft Cntk being one which was better than tensorflow. Tensorflow 'won' because of herd mentality and the perception that everything google does is cool.
