This might just be my subjective experience, but it feels like GNOME app ecosystem is entering a new stage where the current modern tooling has been available for long enough, and a sufficient enough third-party developer culture has been established, that we are getting a wave of bigger and more ambitious apps than before.
As if the developers who published their first small libadwaita indie apps 3-4 years ago are now using that experience to build and support a new, more advanced class of projects.

In a way I'm one of those developers. I was drawn to GNOME ecosystem when I saw how much effort was invested into renewing and modernizing the stack around the turn of the decade, with flatpak, GTK4, libadwaita, the HIG, etc. I definitely wasn't the only one who jumped on the GNOME train back then, because it seems like the effort that has been invested into the platform is really paying off now with all these cool apps appearing.
