Two long interviews about the knots vs core issue.
One with Jimmy Song and Adam Back.
The other with Luke Dashjr and Mechanic And Jimmy Song as well.
It goes back and forth a lot and both sides present their side.
It's nuanced and they touch every detail

My personal take:
After a lot of back and forth, it really boils down to whether you want long term development towards bitcoin as money (store of value, payments, ...) or highly expensive but resilient general data storage.
Knots mission statement is the former.
Cores mission statement is the latter.
