CoMaps or Organic Maps: Where is the community? (feddit.org)

I am aware that there was some dispute and I am using CoMaps since then. Today I discovered (thanks @naja@feddit.org !), that Organic Maps has routing for Public transport, a feature I miss dearly on CoMaps.

Now I wonder: Has Organic Maps a bigger, more active community of devs? Should I switch back to it? Or are both equally actively developed, only with different priorities?

To have more accurate info, CoMaps has surpassed Organic Maps only in June 2026 (so very recent, and no data yet to show it's a stable trend), and only in edit counts (not in number of contributors yet). That still confirms what I said. The people most involved in OSM mostly migrated to CoMaps. Organic Maps still has a lot of inertia and a large userbase that probably isn't aware of CoMaps, but I still see more stable future for CoMaps than Organic Maps.
