I'm somewhat offended on behalf of OpenBSD! doas is a good program written for good reasons (cf. https://flak.tedunangst.com/post/doas https://flak.tedunangst.com/post/doas). Suckless sudo would ensure it was as painful as possible to use, so suckless fans feel like cool sysadmin hackers setting it up. (Just compile in the permitted uids lol!)

I totally agree with doas being a good program with really good rationale. I also get that suckless does have a bit of a reputation that isnt for everyone (I've heard that it's basically impossible to make a PR to any of their projects). Theyre obviously not philosophically aligned, that was terrible wording, but I mentioned OpenBSD because its an excellent project that deserves more mention and a lot of the criticisms for modern software design in this post and thread are addressed by their design philosophy. That said, the compiling issue aside I think the overall embrace of simple, self-contained, C code is where you could compare the two.
