I appreciate and admire it. My work with Cinnamon stems from that, so I couldn't have it any other way.This is the endless component churn mentality that fuels the industry and empties the pockets of those less knowledgeable. Not for me any more, I know how to make my own wine to my liking and with HQPLAYER others can too.
But you believe you've cracked some code or achieved escape velocity from something? From my POV you appear to have simply traded convenience by time and effort, but are otherwise still orbiting the same sun as everybody else, at exactly the same orbit I'm afraid. Other people have other goals and stories in life. Why characterize people with different opinions in a dimmer light than yourself?
