But, ran by a BDFL that doesn't ever want to become a foundation and share power, is known to throw tempter tantrums, and freaks about LGBTQ people and creators.

Nearly identical to the one in testing at Android, appears this is the course they are heading. Not a bad design, a welcome change, but wish they focused on more QoL and longstanding issues such as a proper color picker (on any website that

Oh absolutely, But that isn't how I was using the term “magic”, I was using it as a generic descriptor similar to how the Zig language refers to things that are done in the background, or hidden, without control from the user. I prefer
