Why feel bad? If you’re using Zig to write a game or a system tool why should you care if Bun uses it or not? All this drama has very little impact on most users of Zig or its developers (some financial impact, but Andrew had already foreseen that as a risk and avoided depending on it)

libghostty is more impactful than Bun IMO. It doesn’t matter to most other developers that Bun was written in Zig, but that such a a good library is written in Zig could have an impact on whether other devs use Zig to write libraries, or if they consider Zig for their app when having libghostty as a dependency

TigerBeetle is also more important than Bun since Zig is a better match for their needs it was for Bun, and TigerBeetle team seems to be a better partner for the Zig foundation. The Bun/Oven team seemed to be an annoyance rather than a synergetic partner.

But in general, pre-1.0, I think any large project that uses it is just a bonus.
