Honestly hard to say. Very much have respect for existing ubiquitous tools and for their copyleft and open source advocacy but they come across as very 'elitist' and reluctant to move to more common open source patterns (for better or worse). Like it seems that contributing to a GNU project seems challenging in needing to get involved with mailing lists and emailing patches etc. Although it seems GUIX uses Codeberg so maybe that stance has softened a bit.

Oh absolutely. It wasn't even close to being sparkling chaos, let alone Agile. What we had as 'sprints' would be more accurate as Epics. The whole thing was insane but they stuck with the terminology...

We had a bunch of simultaneous 'sprints' that went on for over a year...

I was using it and I moved away. A combination of needing to use their app instead of a normal email client, irritating number of screens and frustratingly slow loading of the webmail page and the ceo comments that could be seen as praising trump made me look at other providers. I went with malibox.org and have 0 regrets.

Well in that it serves a free website rather than just being a bare repo. Still don't think it fits exactly but its better.

I personally find it weird and confusing when I see things like this. There are loads of closed source projects that use GitHub purely for issue tracking and feature requests and it just kind of feels against the ethos of it. Honestly for those projects I'm not really interested anyway if it is closed so after a quick browse in the org repos to see if I missed something, I just leave.

In your case it seems even stranger, if you wanted to have a landing page in GitHub but nothing else then why not have it as an GitHub Pages website rather than a repo?

Ugh yeah this is a real point of annoyance for me, we have the XDG basedir spec for a reason but everything just ignores it. I'd settle for even the config part, let alone state, data dirs and the rest. Just throw it all in home...
