This is the last line of my original email:

and this is the most relevant part of your response:
>
have you ever created any piece of "software", that is the same way (or even more) popular as a grub?
Your ableist insults aside, did y'all specifically set out to create grub for a clique and can't commit to a usable system for the average end user?
It's distasteful, but fine if y'all are here to satiate inflated egos and are more interested in flaunting market share for an embedded component. You managed to set up a corner shop in the empire and nothing has come along to replace it yet, mostly because free (as in freedom) software is grossly under funded. Just be transparent about it, that this isn't for a normal end user, and y'all are not the type of devs who are here to increase accessibility.
At least, the honesty would allow folks like me to ask for other devs to step in and create an alternative that we can actually use. It's reasonable to expect that level of transparency. At least, then I can put some support behind devs who are actually good considerate folks who aren't afraid to continually improve themselves, their work, and accessibility for other people.
