Yes, you need to implement a configuration mechanism, but you almost always do anyway.

There's nothing wrong with having good defaults, just with not being able to override them. "Opinionated" usually means latter.

Being opinionated is okay if your product is interoperable with others. Then people have the choice between your product and its potential replacements so having choices within your product is not as important. I guess Go is okay because we

Dealing with integers is what it's terrible at because it doesn't have them.

You always use a desktop environment, either a premade one or one you assemble yourself starting with a window manager.

Is it just me or is it not obvious that this entry actually does something useful instead of duplicating the OS screenshot feature? An image of the entire page including the part not on screen isn't even a screen-shot.

Not if the UI is styled using CSS. Which it is.

That isn't redistribution -- redistribution requires that someone actually gains something. That's plain stupid. Whoever made that decision didn't go too far, they went into a completely wrong direction.
