This is a direct response to the irresponsible journalism from this article from Yahoo Finance. I am loathe to push traffic their way, but I think it is a valuable place to start a discussion from.

We at Scatter believe in facts, data, and investigation.

To start, we need to present the original, problematic content from Cryptomiso’s EOS chart

Commits to a single repo do not an ecosystem make

The fault in logic here is glaring and shameful. Tracking a single repository’s commit history does not actually tell you anything about how EOSIO is progressing because EOSIO is not just one repo.

There have been over 600 commits on EOSIO repositories over the past month alone. EOSIO/eos was split into multiple repositories to create better separation of concerns and more maintainable code. This is a good thing that makes a codebase more manageable! Most of the work is done on other repositories now, an initiative which started quickly after the mainnet launch.

A quick glance at the EOSIO organization GitHub and a tally of the commits on the top repos takes about 2 minutes tops, and completely disproves this article. I’d imagine the same lack of investigative journalism is present across the board there and the people at Yahoo Finance should be more careful about what they post without vetting their sources first.
