I regularly use bun, it's a decisive speed improvement over node. Large parts of the ecosystem build on bun.

If you install bun you're still getting the zig version.

I don't see major reasons to doubt the rust rework, especially as so much capital and token investment is being thrown at it.

As long as it fits better than alternatives, I see no major reasons to change.

You shouldn't trust the rust rework. Despite the mountains of capital and token investment which have been thrown at it, they still only ship the zig version to users.
