The company might be super slimy, but their engineering team has made huge improvements to the modern web / app development and had gifted us with the awesome open source tools. Only because of them I had a positive outlook of the company

If you write apps for their ecosystem, you've been fucked real, but real hard at least 6 times in the last 6 years. From unkept promises to everchanging rules, terms and api.

So they give away stuff that's effectively irrelevant to their business and that should cause a positive impression? You shouldn't let what might be called a Trojan Horse to change your impression of them.
