At my day job we’re heavily invested in Leaflet for historical reasons, but toward the end of last year added Maplibre as a layer on top of it via the excellent https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-leaflet. This has allowed us to begin transitioning gradually instead of being forced to jump all at once.

It’s hard to beat the simplicity of Leaflet, but neither it nor OpenLayers can handle Mapbox Vector Tiles in a performant enough manner, so Maplibre is the future for us.

I was not aware of Microsoft’s involvement. It’s great to see some big players using it too!

I maintain a small MVT rendering library for Leaflet - I'm overall satisfied with the performance on modern devices, but usually point greenfield projects at MapLibre instead, unless you need some very specific Leaflet plugin.
