       | Why so much hostility towards suckless? They've made a handfull

       | linked any software they've made despite saying that they "spent
       | most of my free time writing code".

       | working with something. To that end, I agree with the author:
       | suckless tools tend to actually bring a lot of grimey details to
       | the forefront, at least in my fairly limited experience.

       | superficial attack on someone else's hobby project. Write out of
       | love.
