It is quite hard to take seriously any project that so much uses word "suck" to describe other projects, i.e., other people work, or their approaches.

His site is calles suck less so i guess it is his moto
Why? Most software out there sucks. Computers suck. Most people are unbelievably bad at designing and writing software. Very few of us are RJ Micals or Adam Leventhals, or Jeff Bonwicks. Most people have major issues with reasoning and implementation when it comes to writing software. It's the reality.
Ironically, suckless.org is a bunch of plan9 elitists. The plan9 elitists are similar to solaris elitists, but have radically different beliefs, and probably believe that Bonwick and Leventhal and the rest should be jailed for working on ZFS, DTrace, Zones, SMF, etc.
