The last update was over a year ago it seems. I remember everyone talking about the desktop environment like it was the next big thing. May she rest in peace.

    rift between the average developers and the old guard widens over time.

    You write “new kids value appearance over function and lack the mentors to show them why that’s bad” funny. And, you should use the other punctuation for a question.

      I agree, alot of the young guard prefers bling over whatever actually works great. Having said that, giving older software a bit more bling is a good idea because said young guard is the future and you always want to lure people with the bling and keep them with the great functionality. Right now they see bling and if it’s shit, oh well, that’s just how it works
