       "Open source project xyz's team focuses on the wrong things so I've been making an alternative myself."What is with these people? This effort would be spent much better on actually fixing the problems with the original project :blobugh:

       @Linux_in_a_Bit as long as the original project's team listens and considers that a good way of doing things, which is most often not the case

       @bgtlover Yeah, even still, a seperate project should usually only be created as a last resort.There's also the option of forking the original project that has to be considered first.

       @Linux_in_a_Bit isn't forking what you ment? because that's what I thought.

       @bgtlover Nope, I've seen people start completely seperate projects like this. Most fail for what should be obvious reasons.

       @Linux_in_a_Bit but even so, some cases require rewriting the project itself, because you simply have different goals. For example, I'm making odilia because I recognise the fact that any very good, very fast and lean screenreader has to be written in native code, and then I put memory-safe code on top of that, so of course it's rust, because I hate go. Why not fork orca? because writing it in the current way will never work at the levels of speed I know can be expected from efforts like mine.

       @bgtlover Yes, but that requires more differences than just "the devs focus on implementing the wrong things" which is what I have the problem with.Of couse there are exceptions and valid reasons but that's not really my point.

       @Linux_in_a_Bit Development, while time consuming, is logical and straightforward. Communicating and cooperating with humans, on the other hand, can be quite the opposite; an unpredictable, non-deterministic spaghetti state machine.
