Given that the Suckless guys are a pack of fascists, would it be immoral to fork the `st` terminal emulato to adapt to a new GNUStep terminal using XEmbed to make it into a controllable TerminalView class?

kinda glad I bounced off of the suckless ecosystem when I realized how much their config mechanism (C header files and a recompile cycle) fucking sucked

    If you’re pathologically opposed to software complexity, you probably shouldn’t be using a GUI at all. Many millions of lines of code are involved in turning UTF-8 into pixels on your screen, laying out widgets, driving a GPU, and so forth.

        I will say that it’s impressive that modern GUIs, as staggeringly complex as they are, work as well and as quickly as they do, not to mention how ridiculously fast the hardware is. That’s quality engineering right there.
