Mostly, the ones I see are from SEO scammers and domain parkers trying to pump the value of their domains to resell them, or straight up scamming others to download or even buy a re-packaged malware version of their open source software.
This is likely the reason why they do this and now vibecoding makes it easy for anyone to do this.
I know right? On Linux for example GNOME needs an extension and only KDE seems to have a handy toggle available from the get go. It seems the normal is to NOT make a feature like this easily available.
The foundation is not even one week old, and the first project just got selected as they were already closely working with the Omarchy project on some things.
What makes you come to the conclusion that "more important" dependencies wouldn't receive funding in the future?
Yeah... KDE, GNOME and soon COSMIC will be fine for most people. Ricing IS fun but this is more similar to taking a kitted out car that used to belong to your cousin to the car meet, part of the culture is stumbling around forums and asking around. There's been stuff in the past like Regolith that did similar things but now a semi-famous person is spearheading this so everybody wooos and ahhhs.
I’m still using [x]it! every day for tracking daily todos or various check lists (e.g. tracking payments or packing lists) – same for klog, by the way, which I use for time tracking.
I consider the [x]it! file format mostly complete, so in a way there isn’t much for me to do anymore. But I guess that’s also a good thing about such standards – that there is little to no maintenance burden compared to “actual” software.
