I'm out of the loop. Please enlighten me

Audacity was bought by Muse Group and almost immediately implemented a "don't you rather want to save on our cloud service instead?" pop-up and IIRC telemetry. Tenacity emerged as the most active fork without that shit and they since diverged a lot from Audacity.

OTOH the resources of Muse Group made this huge rewrite possible. The level of pain between using wxWidgets or dismissing pop-ups is higher for wxWidgets for me.

Maybe Tenacity is willing to throw away their homegrown developments to start fresh with the new code base. No idea.

Oh, thanks. Seems like I have something to consider before jumping into the new version.
