> I'm sure folks will make fun of me for this

To be honest, the blog post is quite a lot of self-indulgent waffle. But I forgive you for that, "each to their own", as they say.

What I won't forgive you for is writing such a long blog post and then completely missing the bottom-line.

Do not write "I'll share more details about where the Ghostty project will be moving to in the coming months".

If you're going to make me read such a long blog post, then at least have an answer ready-to-go for the critical question that everybody is going to ask !

Better yet don't write the post at all until you actually do something.

"I'm going to become a vegetarian" vibes.

I read the post yesterday, and read it again today before commenting, and it's not really self-indulgent waffle.

Ghostty might be an open source and free product, but that doesn't mean that Mitchell in particular, that works on it, treats it any differently to how a for-profit company would treat its own software.

If you're using a SAAS that offers a product to both companies and individuals with the same feature set, and it's uptime is anything less three-nines, it's not fit for purpose.

Frankly, I'm amazed companies aren't walking away and giving the same reasons.
