Warts are the product of caring about backwards compatibility with initial design mistakes. So I'm not sure they're a reliable heuristic for better choice of technology. E.g. YAML is definitely much wartier than JSON, but I think

Why do you care? Small commits are great for git bisect, and having to come up with a fancy message can break your flow. Code reviewers generally review a whole PR diff, not the individual commits. Fussing about commit messages smacks of pr

Discoverability is a big one. People really underestimate the value of having a menu, an actual fucking menu, listing all the functions you can use. Typing and getting autocomplete is a poor substitute, and you don't get even that in S
