  • My view is that if the goal was to effectively make good software they wouldn’t start from scratch.

    If they used wlroots the desktop would be usable today with a good feature set.

    If they used Qt or GTK they would have feature rich well supported software. (GTK4 could have been an improvement for them, it’s designed around being minimal and having platform libraries implement design choices)

    They didn’t take a practical approach imo. You could argue its a long term investment but because of it it’s probably years off of feature parity. The only upside today is… it’s written in Rust.
