Unlocked package vs. managed package

[mrjcrm]

To Mr. Jongpie - Why is there a choice? I would think that a managed package has all the advantages, such as avoiding API name collisions. The only advantage I can think of for unlocked is that users can edit the Nebula source code.

@mrjcrm there's a section in the README that outlines some of the differences. Both are offered because there are tradeoffs with both options - but in general, the unlocked package is better in all regards, except for API name collisions. That's really the only advantage that the managed package has. Development & support of the unlocked package is much nicer (from my perspective), and due to platform limitations with namespaces, several features are limited or not available at all in the managed package.
