So you are like Barney from How I Met Your Mother? “What’s my other other number one rule Ted? New is always better!”
How many times can you update a URL parser or leftpad? Do you need to update them just to up your GitHub activity meter?

Paul Graham said he "finished" writing Hacker News 12 years ago. [0]
This might even be more possible for "simpler" softwares.

HN and Arc are still being updated, though, just not by Paul Graham.

Is whatever benefit you see worth the hassle when sharing scripts or setting up servers?

If you mean for exa specifically, then yes. It’s mostly compatible with ls. Never caused problems in years now.
Yes, I did check whether ls was still actively being developed, saw that it wasn't doing anything new, and switched to exa, which is a fantastic little project, with sane defaults, less cruft, and greater speed. You can always improve software, some people just get bored of doing so, and then declare it "done". But it isn't, and it's never going to be.
