I find that most of their software is targeted towards beginner/intermediate hackers. Having to recompile /forces/ you to tinker with the source code. When I was learning how to code I would hack the shit out of my window manager (dwm), I learned a lot of C in the process. When you think about it that way, the "arbitrary limitations" on lines of code and everything else starts to make sense.
I agree most of their stuff isn't targeted toward the average user, just this small niche. Their browser, surf, doesn't even support tabs as far as I can remember.

- dhruvmittal 10y agoI've never used surf, but I really do like tabbed. It plays super nicely with most tiling window managers I've used, and lets me get the single best feature (ymmv) of i3 on xmonad.
- pmoriarty 10y agoCould you elaborate on how you use tabbed with i3, and how it's better than simply using i3's native tiling features?
- davidshepherd7 10y agoemacs had a similar effect on me. Configuration is all in elisp so you can happily tumble down a rabbit hole of tweaking settings and find yourself learning all kinds of interesting lispy ideas.
