I mean the issue I take with suckless is that it still can suckmore. X11 as a toolkit library and as the base for a xorg server window manager impl is just treating X as a load bearing dependency.
But besides that, I think people took the wrong lesson from suckless and thought it just meant “less = more.” So we get projects like hyprland that think they’re superior because they have less “bloat” or whatever.
In a not too distant future, GNOME will be more suckless than DWM and the suckless folks dont actually care to learn why.
