I have no comment on Cloudflare being evil, but if you actually try to use their hosting products which come with a generous free tier, you realize how bad the DX is:
- Their dashboard is next to GCP in terms of how bad it is.
- They ship like three different CLIs that'll often have overlapping functionality: wrangler, c3, cloudflared and flarectl. It feels like an organizationally confused tooling strategy dumped on the user.
- Docs are often out of date
They really need to learn a thing or two from Vercel on the DX
