What a bunch of nonsense ! The colon is a non-starter, not everyone uses a qwerty layout (azerty layout has direct access to the colon) but as ipv4 fields can be smart and automatically add a . after 3 characters or with a press of the left arrow (windows has been doing this for 15+ years), ipv6 fields can automatically add a : when needed. Omitting leading zeros is not mandatory, you can input all those zeros if you so choose (turns out the author actually does). Better blobs for double clicking selects them ? Well maybe try triple clicking then, though in my shell with default settings double clicking an ipv6 address selects it. Also separating fields of 4 characters improves readability, ipv4 also separated fields but I don't see the author criticizing this. why not re-use the dot from IPv4 notation? Because it would add unnecessary complexity, also 17 years later is a bit too late to ask for such a drastic change in an established standard. Lastly if you find the : unappealing, why don't you code your tools to show them as . and while at it add a layer in your code that will translate your preferred way of displaying ipv6 into the actual one ? All I take from this post is that zerotier is probably incompetent, refractory to ipv6 and is certainly whiny about non-issues.
