That's a nice strawman.
My argument is not that software doesn't suck, nor that we should pretend it doesn't.
However, recognizing that other's people work, upstream of yours, contributed to the "betterness/sucklessness" of yours is, IHMO, important. But this is purely subjective (therefore the IHMO).
Now, the /philosophy page of suckless.org objectively disregards this; by not acknowledging it in the first place.
- stonogo 11y agoThat's because it's wholly irrelevant. The software sucks. This is the whole of the message. It's not important why it can be done better if nobody ever does it better. It's ironic you're complaining about straw men while criticizing a technology project because you don't like the way they talk about technology, completely ignoring the technology itself. It's an unproductive gripe, unlikely to better anyone's situation.
