Okay?

What the fuck are you talking about?

There is no need to be so angry over the truth. Assuming you read the comment chain, it's quite simple, the use-cases for this are almost invisible, adds no benefit other than complexity and henceforth, explains why Linux desktop support is ill defined.

So explaining the truth of not supporting complicated prehistoric contraptions is somehow upsetting to folks emotionally attached to their desktops?

EDIT:

Also with your own edits it really does show that the truth indeed hurts those that can't handle it when you are all over the place:

>> What the fuck are you talking about?

Getting very upset and angry. Causing one to sway into irrationality and reduced reading comprehension such as:

>> But saying there's no use-case is crazy .. can you not read?

There is 'little to no use-case' and it is almost invisible even if there is a use-case.

Surely you can read that and know that it isn't absolute. Yet, I'm the one that can't read? Your reading comprehension is quite low when you're angry over a windowing manager.

>> Look at your unhinged, boorish tone, uncouth bragging about how much money you make, your passionate and irrelevant denunciation of the Linux desktop, the deep personal offense you're taking to other people's UI preferences ... it's sheer projection.

I gave the reason why Linux Desktop support is ill defined. It is the truth and clearly it is upsetting you.

>> Do you have bipolar disorder or something? You really don't seem psychologically healthy.

Yet it is not me that is swearing, showing anger and giving short abrasive responses without explanation? Those who don't have a refutation often try to divert the subject to attacking the claimant and to make it all about them.

Oh dear.

My apologies dang, I'll try to keep a lid on it more. Thanks for the warning.

Appreciated!

You seem... Bitter. I don't where is the issue with developers trying to make their product a bit prettier. If overall it draws more attention to it, be it through reddit or anything else, I see that as a win. But nobody forces you to use gaps, and nobody forces you to stop "selling shovels to developers", whatever that is for an occupation. Hope you keep winning big money, and hope i3[-gaps] developers keep doing what they love.

I wager to say that the vast majority of people using i3-gaps have never posted a screenshot of their desktop on reddit. The real use case is "some people like it". The reddit connection is merely evidence of people liking it.
