Aside from all the positive benefits of migrating to MapLibre for real,
maplibre-gl-leaflet has some serious drawbacks that reflect poorly on the
website. For example, the jittering and tearing in
openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#6226
openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#6233 is specific to this plugin. While it
has gotten worse with recent versions of MapLibre, similar issues have been
raised against the forked plugin and the original
[unmaintained](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-leaflet/issues/96) Mapbox
project for several years: mapbox/mapbox-gl-leaflet#143
maplibre/maplibre-gl-leaflet#26
https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-leaflet#63.
More worryingly, there’s an elusive bug where some tiles don’t draw until
something forces a redraw of the tile, or never redraw at all. In
OpenHistoricalMap, we’ve been seeing
[unreproducible](https://discord.com/channels/413070382636072960/634106496560398349/1318752429067735052)
reports of it for years, and now [similar
reports](https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/vector-tiles-are-deployed-on-openstreetmap-org/133008/51)
are coming in for this site too. I suspect it’s [a race
condition](https://forum.openhistoricalmap.org/t/sufficient-performance/183/6?u=minh_nguyen)
stemming from how the plugin works, but I haven’t looked into it further.
Users will naturally attribute the lag to our tile servers being unresponsive
rather than this rendering bug.
