I use dwm, st and slock myself so I'm definitely grateful for the suckless people but it's true that their arrogant attitude is often silly, unwarranted and counterproductive. I also find that they often mistake terseness for elegance and simplicity, while their code is decent it's far from the best C code I've ever encountered (apparently tests and comments are not part of the philosophy). Their fetishization of C is also ridiculous, they actually advise using C instead of a shell script to set the dvm status bar because it's more minimalistic that way. Since you'll probably want to read a bunch of /proc and /sys entries and/or call third party programs I don't really see why anybody would think C is more appropriate than /bin/sh.

But hey, I'll still take that over "what's wrong with Electron apps anyway?".

Just do what I do: fork their code and never even consider contributing anything back since you'll probably get shut down anyway.
