Going a bit of topic, Arch Linux does mostly the same, and thanks to it all of its users are direct testers/reporters of unpatched projects, with the exception of a few minor patches related to chore in projects that don't allow to customize it (mostly paths). I guess that this has probably improved the overall health of Linux beyond Arch itself during the last 2 decades for similar reasons to the ones provided in this article.
Yes it’s great people use it and report issues. I found and reported a years old bug in Erlang that was exposed by a zlib update. Arch makes it easy to isolate and rollback dependencies which was helpful to isolate the change. On the other hand, Debian/RHEL users never had to know about this complete showstopper bug since they never ran a system that had the new zlib and the old Erlang at the same time.
I also had this feeling for Java IDEs, but my idea changed when I tried IntelliJ IDEs 10 years ago. I still feel IntelliJ IDEs fast and, many times, more powerful than VSCode. But I also see the gap getting thinner. Maybe that's why they created Fleet. If they match the dominant UX and add features only they can offer, they might stay in the throne.
I didnt mean to be disrespectful. I just suffered so much the pain of what I highlighted of the introduction that I reacted too fast. I apologize to the author of the package.
PS: leeoniya, your link makes no sense in this context.
my link explains where that phrase comes from. it's a play on words that has nothing to do with pride or why i made "another one" (which is explained in great detail in many other places).
i made uFuzzy because i couldnt get the other 20 existing libraries to return only the results that i expected.
