@noa this hits a valid point. And I say it as an Arch Linux+Slackware and vim enthusiastic power user for two decades.
This is exactly the attitude I've seen on some comments on this thread. Even if I like minimal tools that give me a lot of power for my day-to-day job, it's not what I expect everyone to be used to. I wouldn't call somebody "half-of-a-developer" just because they are used to the GH flow and paradigms. When I build something for myself, most of the time I don't even bother of adding a UI. But when I build something for others, I try to take all the expectations into account.
@blacklight @noa I had to take a look when I heard it was “ugly”, which in tech stuff (but particularly on the web) ugly in the mainstream means beautiful simplicity to those not keen on shit embedded in a blob of #JavaScript to support animations & round corners that only look right in some select browsers & exclude other ppl. It also means the maintainers are not bogged down in aesthetics.
