I’m looking forward to switch from Terraform to OpenTofu, but i have the impression that the ecosystem around it didn’t catch up yet.
Did any of you already did the switch? If so, what do you use as a replacement for Terraform Cloud, the VSCode extension and/or terraform-ls?
For Terraform Cloud, the are many options: scalr, spacelift, etc. Spacelift looks nice as it can also run Ansible, but Scalr seems to have a better and simpler UI.
But on the editor side, there doesn’t seem to be much… the VSCode extension has been forked but it still seem to be in its early days (cf. this issue: it still uses terraform-ls under the hood, which itself looks for the terraform binary).
I don’t think it will become popular. People will continue to use terraform since it’s not only the default, but also better in all ways.
We will probably see tofu be abandoned in a year or two.
OpenTofu is now the default, in GitLab at least, so I’ll be making the switch soon.
Yeah looks like I was wrong about this.
