Calibre is like curl an important part of the foundation of the worlds knowledge base, except Kovid Goyal doesn't have a wiki page.
While MIT blowhards came up with BS like OLPC, Calibre has helped spread books worldwide.
It was great Kovid Goyal got Calibre to Python 3 as the sole (?) developer , I'm not sure if any of the complainers offered to pay to get it there quicker?
I have no idea why the blog post is getting upvoted, but I'm sure helping Calibre along with bug fixes or $ is better than the most/all of the musings in the blog.

- xref 3y agoI switched to Kitty terminal across all platforms about a year ago, a fantastic decision for me (initially I just wanted tmux-style windowing with no tmux) and Kovid built Kitty as well
- poulpy123 3y agoExcept that people didn't complain that Goyal didn't port calibre to python 3 but that he refused for it to be ported and preferred backport librairies to python 3, which proved a very bad idea (obviously)
