I kinda don't care. The providers do all of the work anyway and, I think more importantly, terraform still feels like transitional tech. I might use it to stand up an initial working cluster but, in the long run and if given the choice, I'd want to use something closer to Crossplane for managing infrastructure.
Terraform is still quite manual and doesn't mandate consistency.. You have to build automation around it and because drift is so easy it results in a system that can't just be fully automated.. You always have to check to see if changing a simple resource tag is going to revert a manual IAM permissions change that was made to a service account 3 weeks ago..
I've been using terraform almost daily for years but I wouldn't be sad if it stopped existing.
