you guys are arrogant but still sheep. you can create as much elitist software as you want, you have no chance to be interoperable with every real-world system that we need access to. as much as i hate the cheesy term (i find it ridiculous to hint towards something so obvious, but you "noobs" manage to prove me wrong), you also don't even get "suckless". it doesn't mean running pure code exclusively like RMS does. we demand a certain amount of pragmatism, cause the way towards perfection can by definition not be the goal. elegant workarounds, practical alternatives, sane preselection of ressources, interfaces, apis are needed. and the things we interface are not only dwm window managers or shitty terminal emulators made to run ncurses applications.
