Upgrade to popper@2?
It seems popper bumped major version. Is there a plan to migrate?

There's a rough idea in my head to do it for a v4 release at some in the near future, but have not started working on it.
@maxfierke Are there still any plans for updating to popper.js v2, or for that matter its replacement floating-ui? I'm working on updating an app that currently uses ember-attacher, but with that having been neglected for some time, I'm trying to get a sense of the future of this project compared to newer solutions like ember-tippy, ember-popper-modifier or ember-velcro.
@gorner I started spiking on a v4 that refactored everything into Glimmer components w/ popper@2 & tippy-based modifiers. I'll have to find that branch again, but I think there was still a bit more work to go. The fact that popper.js v2 is already being replaced with something else kind of irks me, but I guess it's been three years already (pandemic time brain!)
I haven't been doing much Ember stuff (or JavaScript in general) for the past nine months or so, so there's a slim chance that I get back to working on this myself, but happy to help enable anyone else to provide a good path forward!
If I was starting something new, I'd probably try something modifier-based. ember-velcro looks kind of interesting. Would be curious if one could wrap it in an ember-tooltips-compatible component API.
@maxfierke Thanks for the reply, completely understandable. I agree some sort of compatible wrapper using ember-velcro and/or whatever replaces Tippy.js would be the best long-term solution, but we might go with ember-tippy for the time being. It's always ideal when the Ember community can coalesce around a common solution – the whole "stability without stagnation" thing – but that community is definitely smaller these days.
cc @jelhan and @NullVoxPopuli who I noticed recently having a discussion on a related matter.
@gorner what a coincidence, I've recently opened the draft PR with a proposal to update "ember-popper-modifier" to Floating UI. The PR contains a fully-working version of the addon, but with Floating UI instead of Popper. Still, this will barely become a part of that addon (see details in conversation, it is still pending).
I would be glad to contribute to such an upgrade/migration to the ember-tooltip library and hear your thoughts on what is needed for that. I agree that ember-velcro looks interesting. Maybe using it under the hood of the new version of ember-tooltips makes sense? Does it make sense to focus on updating/integrating it into this library?
P.S. I am working on an update an app that currently uses ember-attacher as well, and I think that the best long-term solution is to use the Floating UI-based solution.
For those who are interested in the floating-ui ember solution, it is now supported by ember-attacher (starting from v2).
Historically, it is used there for the show/hide transition animations and, partially, for the arrow positioning. TBH, I think about dropping sass in the future in some way.
Or, maybe it is possible to use sass internally only and don't make it a dependency, but, unfortunately, I don't yet know the way to do this.
