I am recently returning to EA after a year or two away largely due to disillusionment, coupled with the desire to pursue core EA principles causing me to (tentatively, in a limited manner) return.
It was honestly a hugely beneficial thing for me. I got to see how lots of other places ‘do good’ and helped identify some of the ways EA misses the mark—as well as what EA gets right that other places don’t.
The biggest message I think should be emphasised is “its okay to stray”. In fact it’s healthy.
I would couple what @aogara said below, in that it helps hugely to see how the sausage is made.
