FluentAssertion v8+ a nice syntax-sugar test lib per year: $130 Rider, a full fledged IDE per year: $150 That's not sustainable open source.

It takes 20 seconds and ChatGPT to create a nice basic replacement for the most important api of FluentAssertion > create a fluent testing class api for the most important stuff so I can verify my tests like "Hello".Assert().IsNotNull()

I got over 32.000 hits via Goolge for "c# replace fluentassertions" in 5 days I think the #dotnet community is not satisfied

Last project migrated away from FluentAssertions within a very short time. Never mix convenience with the value of a dependency ✌

The community has played a big part in making the library what it is today - and that includes passive contributions. Last week it was shown how the community has been exploited - now it is also shown how much value is placed on feedback.
