Magento (rank #209) holds a narrow lead over Remote (rank #278) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (49 vs 46). The gap of 3 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Magento is ahead of Remote. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Magento is slightly ahead of Remote. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Remote is ahead of Magento.

Magento carries 18,718 GitHub stars across 97 public repos, with 20 repositories active in the last 90 days and 32 external contributors on record. Remote shows 811 stars across 51 public repos, 17 active in the last 90 days and 21 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Magento's footprint is roughly 23.1x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.
