We at MD Systems are 100% Drupal 8 advocates. We believe that it is the best solution for building various kinds of websites (older versions of Drupal included). We have believed in this for years and that is one of the reasons why we have been actively involved in its development since the beginning of the cycle. From leaders in core space to driving whole contrib initiatives (Media, Paragraphs, ...) forward, there probably is no significant part of the Drupal 8 ecosystem to which our company has not contributed at some point.

With that said, we also understand most of the concerns that are often expressed about the challenges that Drupal 8 introduced for many organizations such as NGOs, non-profits and small businesses. We believe that Drupal 8 can provide a lot of value for this kind of organizations so we decided to use our vast experience with Drupal distributions (NP8, Kampatools, Thunder) and build something that certainly will help us to fill the gap and bring Drupal back to the grassroots.
