@davidgerard @thomasfuchs Want to point that this goes for almost every single major feature where you go “wait why isn’t that possible”.
For another example, it has been degrading Markdown to plaintext since forever and only after literally almost a decade of complaining (not joking, Markdown degrading has been an issue since 2016) is Gargron finally adding a subset of Markdown (which is all that was asked). Yet another one is configurable character count.
The reason people go “use something else” is because most people know that Gargron is obstinate about certain features. Its just not worth putting up with him when it’s already fixed in forks and work it out without needing to deal with him. And frankly it’s not just him. Gargron has a defense squad of orbiters around him who basically kiss the earth he walks on and will get really upset if you don’t sugarcoat every complaint.
