It calls itself a professional window manager. So it shouldn’t be surprised to be judged by that standard.

...that's in development. Professional things are not allowed to be in development?

Do you go around your town criticizing people that are in the process of constructing office buildings, because they don't have the wheelchair ramp installed yet?

Perhaps if you care so much, you can lend a helping hand...

This isn't a case of having a wheelchair ramp that hasn't been installed yet. This is more like there's no wheelchair ramp, and while there's room for one out front, they've already done the landscaping there.
Pffft. Right - because code is not completely mutable at any time during development.

Have you considered that the analogy breaks after the obvious bit?

How does the analogy break? Do you think you can't tear up landscaping? To add a ramp you have to do work to undo the existing landscaping, install the ramp, and then redo the landscaping in a way that fits with the ramp.
And then pee on the floor and do jumping jacks, run in circles, then read a magazine, then install an upside-down lectern in the living room only to realize... you forgot the television.

God save us all!

The analogy breaks because code is able to be changed at any time almost as easily as writing new code. There is no such thing as landscaping in code. It's all easy to change.
But why start with

    <div class="button">
instead of just using an actual html button?
`role=“button”` can be faster than overwriting the crappy default button styles for people who can’t spare 15 seconds
