You're wrong and don't know what you're talking about.
I dislike the implementation of Atom and have been highly critical of it on HN, even crashing a release thread once by pointing out how harebrained it is to implement complex text layout on top of browser APIs when the browser has access to a much richer text shaper itself - we'd know because we wrote it for Qt originally.
Because I've also worked on KDE for 12 years, wrote a big chunk of Plasma 5 and am one of the people porting it to Wayland. We want Wayland for many of the same reasons that make Atom bad, such as state synchronization problems and overhead with X11 (along with its very dire security story).
The intersection you suggest isn't real or doesn't matter. No one working on Wayland uses Atom.
- btschaegg 10y agoI don't think one should take obvious satire to seriously. There's not enough time in the day to point out details in posts that are written just for laughs. However, just to be pedantic ( ;-) ), I'll have to point out that "a big part of the people defending VSCode in this post agree that X11 is slow" does not imply "a big part of the people agreeing that X11 is slow defend VSCode in this post". The two aren't commutative, since one set of people is quite likely much larger than the other. Edit: Oh, and since you mentioned working on Plasma for over a decade: Thank you for making awesome FOSS! :)
- sho_hn 10y ago:) Fair enough. I am a bit less cranky after my morning coffee now ;). Thanks for the warm words!

- nonsince 10y agoI'd say you absolutely have to point out factual flaws in comedy. Comedy is truth, that's why you probably believe that David Cameron put his penis in a pig's mouth and Donald Trump was peed on by Russian prostitutes. There's no evidence, but it's funny so you believe it anyway.
