F-Droid uses the same way to install packages as the file manager does.

Well, both will be unable to install certain types of apps.

Well, IntelliJ is also plugin based, it’s just that most of the plugins are bundled and enabled by default and maintained by the same set of people as the core IDE, so there’s consistent quality.

You mean Reddit, the company that would be very happy if Anthropic did the exact same thing, but paid Reddit first?

You mean one to struggle to rule them all?

I mean, if I didn’t use a correct flag, my next command will probably include -h / --help

Eh… No?

Opening projects, I use multiple languages, so having a single place to open any project, regardless of the IDE, is nice.

You mean the toolbox? I love it! Though I had to live without for a while (just NixOS things) and now I’m trying to get back to the habit of using it; unsuccessfully so far.

Probably not basic user friendly, true, but the upside is that you set it up once and can send files all the time by just placing it in a directory, doesn’t get simpler than that.

Utility-first detractors complain a lot about how verbose this is and, consequently, how ugly. And it is indeed. But you’d forgive it that if it actually solved a problem, which it doesn’t.

Love the tone!

Ah, the creator od std::vector<bool>?

Isn’t the JVM limited to 2 GB or something like that?

Why wouldn’t you?

Ah, I see you’re a fellow html regex parsing enthusiast.

As a representative of those who have had a constant knee pain for over a decade: I’m slightly less thrilled about the design.

I’m too young for that, but I got a piece of that experience when I bought a physical programming book as a reward from Kickstarter.

Some of the code lines were too long to fit the page and were cut off which added another fun element (though it was pretty rare).

Not always, way too often you just get a variation of “invalid option, use --help to get a list of options”

How about you show me by default like most apps?

I think so, at least Warpinator. Try Syncthing, it operates on pure magic.

Every problem can be fixed by adding another layer of abstraction. Except the too-many-layers-of-abstraction problem.
