The curl project continues to be a fantastically run project
- It has stayed focused on one problem area, and only providing enough functionality to solve that set of problems (fancy way of saying it hasn't bloated)
- It is well documented and new features are well communicated
- When it does add features, the maintainers are features slowly and focus on quality. This is also in part because curl is such a fundamental tool that a lot of other software that relies on it would break if it wasn't rock solid

Just check out the length of the PR for this "simple" change of making the functionality parallel: https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/b88940850002a3f1c25bc648...
