    It’s Open source.

    Some people just want to keep looking at the gift horse in the mouth.

      As an open source developer I hate this attitude. If you do not care about the users why are you even releasing the software?

        Well in these ages of vibecoding. Maybe you are doing it for yourself. Or because you can? Actually caring of users hasn't been very high for most software for long time...
