| licensed code bases.)

|
| Project Management is an incredibly crowded space.

| So crowded

| Maybe generally but details don't get handled well

| never evolve from a consumer hostile community/platform
| like emacs)... and will eventually be akin to a full OS

|
| For any given universal interface you have to make it
| extensible, interoperable and personal (for some given
| definition of personal) and no software organized around a
| group can get there without a fundemental rework.
|
| Honestly, I think for large commercial players (products
| like MacOs) it's more likely for us to get there after AI
| conversational interfaces are fully synthesized and OS' are
| fundementally reevaluated for production after they lose
| their relevance in other general computing ways.
